Good lord, and he apparently just sat through a congressional hearing about his dumb rear end, making dumb faces the whole time and not answering any of their questions.

Then he immediately went online and talked poo poo about the legislators on social media.

It's like getting bitched out by the principal for being a poo poo and just staring at him the whole time, then going to your schoolyard buddies and saying "heh yeah that Mr. Smith has a poo poo face and dumb hair, I wasn't even listening to whatever he was saying"

What kills me is that there is a very real chance that by the end of this, he'll be the same old shithead, only instead of marking up HIV meds, he'll make a living touring the country giving speeches to "future CEO" types and MLM fuckwads.

Yeah he's been straight up borrowing money to then give that money to other previous investors as "returns', then borrowing from new investors to pay those off. Its literally the most basic, old-fashioned ponzi scheme imaginable.

He also had some lawyer involved who bullshitted a bunch of paperwork or something.

They're both going to do time.

What I don't understand is how this no-money no-name kid managed to bullshit some investors into giving him millions to get his ponzi scheme started. Some real stupid investors out there who never did any due diligence.

Starting in 2005 the Red Cross now recommends 5 sharp blows to the back first and then moving to 5 abdominal thrusts after that if the less damaging blows didn't dislodge the obstruction. Apparently the abdominal thrusts (for some reason they don't call it a Heimlich anymore), have a risk of rupture the diaphragm, breaking ribs that may end up puncturing the lungs, and other pretty severe damage to internal organs if I recall correctly. That's why they decided to recommend it as a last ditch secondary effort.

He's rich in the way that a bank robber is rich. He made virtually all of his money by bullshitting people into giving him cash in return for a profit, spent it all on himself, and then started borrowing money and pulling schemes (like shifting money between companies and funds, or illegally classifying something as a loan so he had an excuse to "pay it off") in a desperate scramble to avoid defaulting.

He seems to be enough of a sociopath to not really give a poo poo about anyone and has a mistaken impression that his wealth and use of loopholes and schemes made him untouchable. All that meant is that he hosed around with the guys who actually do have power.

This one's on me.

I started a new job recently. I've been struggling to get up to speed with out large code base, and the dozens of technologies we employ. If you followed my GBS thread, you know I'm feeling significant pressure to do well at this job. Consequently, I've been staying late at work. Last night, everyone was gone by 7:00 or so, except the CIO and one of the high-level managers. The CIO left, and the manager stopped by for a talk. We chatted for half an hour or so, and he left. I was all alone in the IT Engineering room. Even the Russian guys who take care of the trash and building maintenance were gone. I spent the next hour-and-a-half or so working on various aspects of my project, keeping a full-volume conversation going with myself the entire time. That's something I do regularly when I am alone, because I am either mentally ill, or very lonely, and probably both. Suddenly, I felt a cramp in my gut. I pressed down, and let loose with an incredibly long, incredibly loud fart. It was one of those wet farts that sounds like a horse blowing a raspberry. It was extremely satisfying. I groaned in satisfaction. To celebrate, I stood up and sang

DOMO ARIGATO, MR. ROBOTO!

DOMO!

DOMO!

I was in mid-Robot when a torso swivel brought me face-to-face with the guy who was sitting in a cube directly behind my chair, and not five feet away from me. He'd been sitting back there for maybe two hours, listening to me talk to myself, and was witness to both my fart, and my Robotting. It was like 9:30 at night, and I hadn't heard a loving sound from him.

I expect bonus schadenfreude any day now when I get fired for whatever kind of harassment blasting rear end on a guy then singing Styx at him qualifies as.
