I wonder what percentage of our country would love the chance to be jailed for 2 years for 300k. I'm sure that's enough to pay off plenty of mortgages.

Go wild early, make some bank, stick it in an IRA, spend a couple of years dressed in the county blues, come out, live the rest of your life like normal, retire early. But instead now no decent job will hire you and depending on how poorly you pimped, you might have to stay 1000 feet from schools and parks.

Also he uses the phrase "high paying waitress jobs" which just sort of leaves me with all kinds of questions. That being said, the girlfriend doesn't have any significant debt despite getting a master's degree so honestly that could be way worse.

Waiting tables can be a really good job if you’re talented and work in a high end environment. Applebee’s, maybe not. One of those steak houses where you pass the window into a freezer full of aged beef, maybe yes. Or...just throwing this out there. She’s a waitress in a strip club. Because that can also pay well.

If I was being charitable I would assume that he's not super committed and wants an exit plan later and thinks that this is somehow helping him. The other one that drives me nuts are people who have kids together but refuse to get married because they're not sure if they're ready for that level of commitment. It completely gets the priorities out of whack. If you aren't willing to get married; don't have a kid. Similarly, if you aren't willing to get married, don't join your finances and assets together.

I've got waiters, waitresses, and bartenders that work at really high end restaurants that pull in $80k+ a year, and that's just what they're reporting to me. Maître D' can pull in more than that as can front of house management. Some of the better chef's and restaurants even provide healthcare and retirement plans.

If I was being charitable I would assume that he's not super committed and wants an exit plan later and thinks that this is somehow helping him. Marriage has facilities to help you break up. Divorce court is a thing. It is codified in the legal system. These long term domestic partnership common-law unions can get MUCH more complicated to dissolve. So I really don’t understand people afraid of committing to a system with a well established “out”, preferring to navigate the complexities of dividing property ownership themselves (or kids!) With kids, you have created a creature that is half another person, so you’re gonna know at least half of them forever. But signing a piece of paper is TOO MUCH COMMITMENT.

Add up all the time that they made the kids serve, then triple it for punishment's sake, and let them be eligible for parole when they reach 150 years old or so. Also ffs when will American courts start imposing actual financial penalties on fuckheads like them and on banks that caught with their hands in customers' pockets. You need to triple the amount they made and impose that as a fine. This whole "give us five percent back and we'll call it even" makes them a profit, ffs.

On the plus side I'm pretty sure Wells Fargo is going to end up paying many times over any profit they made from their shenanigans. But that's mainly because they were so bad at fraud that they didn't actually make any money (i.e. using new accounts as a metric for bonuses when the new accounts didn't actually contribute anything). Also, it's worth noting that Wells Fargo tried to get ahead of any official sanctions by agreeing to a then record fine and that didn't help them. Now they're being told they can't grow their assets for at least another year. While that's still not jail time for executives, I'm not sure I've ever seen a bank get punished like that. So...maybe a step in the right direction.

Mourne posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal I get so sad when I hear about this case every time. I used to visit Wilkes-barre yearly for a softball tournament and it was always such a dead place with no visible young people. A year after the scandal broke we went for the tournament and all of the sudden people were out and having a great time in the evenings. There was actual places to go and things to do. I miss not doing the tournament every year now that I'm older and live down south. I hope the good people of WB are doing better now.

Shareholders get punished and it's up to them to punish the executives. Of which 10 or so lost their jobs and I don't know...75 million at least in bonus clawbacks. They should have treated Well Fargo like a mafia family and started arresting low level people on identity theft charges so they'd turn over evidence against their management and so forth up the ladder. But apparently that's too dangerous for the bank's solvency, which was one of the reasons HSBC avoided criminal charges.

If I recall, a lot of non corporate private aircraft flying involves essentially buying time on a jet rather than purchasing the jet outright. For a fairly wealthy person, the costs are reasonable (considering what you get).
