I recently started listening to the podcast “Swindled”. They have lots of BWM stories, but I thought of this group when I listened to this one called the “Horse Queen”. In the largest municipal fraud in American history, Rita Crundwell embezzled over $50 million from the city of Dixon, Illinois, to support her extravagant lifestyle and expensive hobby, breeding and showing Quarter Horses. http://swindledpodcast.com/podcasts/season-1/episode-02-the-horse-queen/

There is a documentary call All the Queen's Horses about this debacle. It looks like it's on Amazon Prime right now, definitely worth a watch.

Residency Evil posted:So what kind of laundering was he involved in? There is a website that does peer to peer "currency exchanges" for bitcoin. There's people on there who will pay about 50% above market rate for bitcoin. You can buy bitcoin and then sell it on Paxful for a 50% profit immediately. This is because the buyers are all emptying compromised bank accounts that they have hacked for bitcoin.

Unrelated but it's funny to me that Game of Thrones choked so hard that the only surviving part of its legacy is the phrase "my sweet summer child" I wonder if that GRRM guy is getting any pages done since he's home for months and there's no football

 Worst Negative Equity You've Seen? quote:Sup guys -- have an interesting one for you. Had a customer come in looking at Silveraydos a few weeks ago, and planned on trading in his 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. Find a truck, go through the usual while they're doing the appraisal and start to get payoff info. He logs into Toyota Financial, screenshots, and texts it to me. I had to immediately walk away and talk to my GM. His payoff was $73,XXX on a 2019 Tacoma. I've only been in the industry for a year and was completely confused, and my GM who has 27 years in nearly lost their poo poo.  Go read some of the responses in that thread

Well the first book came out in 96. Residency Evil posted:Ugh gently caress car salesmen so hard. True, but the guy also has a one year old truck and is looking to buy another new car. The blame is shared here. Most of the people who have terrible negative equity are in that position because they feel like they need to be constantly buying new cars. Not good enough to drive a car for 10 years and actually have a few years of no car payments.

It's not like you need an 8 year long Summer to still look at a naive person and make a joke that they've never experienced harsh conditions. Looking online the etymology says the term dates back to the 1800's. Also I thought people liked Tacoma's? They sure like selling used one's for a lot of money. Is it possible this guy thought he could somehow get out from underneath his $70k+ burden by trading it in? I'm not entirely sure he understands how negative equity works.

You old dorks are having a Berenstain Bears moment. Some poem in 1850 that called the breeze "the child of summer" doesn't explain why people started using it to mean "naive" once the hit HBO series came out Now take your magnesium pills and tell me more about Nelson Mandela's funeral, grampa

Yeah, I can't imagine that all the old people in Florida when I grew up there were big Game of Thrones fans. Also if you search for the phrase minus a couple other keywords ("martin", "fear") you can easily find examples of the phrase being used in the 1800s and early 1900s, here's one that specifically uses it as a synonym for naive.quote:The phrase “sweet summer’s child” became a popular way of describing an innocent, naive person (especially among American writers) during the early Victorian era. It was used by a number of authors during the 1840s, notably: Fredrika Bremer (1840), James Staunton Babcock (1849) in The West Wind and Mary Whitaker (1850) in The Creole. It has been used in a number of other novels, poems and speeches (especially by US authors) throughout the 20th century. moana fucked around with this message at 19:28 on May 24, 2020 |
