I miss the days when the crime was focused around laundering money through a pizza shop front that actually had surprisingly good pizza. Mostly because I really want a pizza right now

I thought the olive oil thing was reasonably common knowledge. The New Yorker covered it in 2007, and I saw a TV special about it when I was literally a child, and I'm 36 now. Every couple of years, another investigative piece comes out. Google turned up articles from 2012, 2014, 2016, 2021, and 2023. Like, this is less an earth-shaking revelation and more just the latest in a long chain of reports.

Diluting olive oil and selling it as a better quality than it is seems like a crime that would have started about ten minutes after people started selling olive oil

From the CBC: He thought he'd sold his Rolex for $15K. Sleight of hand left him with coupons instead quote:Once in the kitchen, Mattel recalls Marius placing a black pouch on the counter and pulling out a silver envelope with a rubber band around it. He remembers Marius removing the rubber band and handing him the envelope.

I’m now waiting for Trump to start selling Allahsox with “Allah” woven into the soles so Jesus-loving boomers can tread on the “heathen religious symbol”. Man, you know there are millions of his imbecilic bigoted followers that would love to get some.

I'd honestly have a tiny bit more respect for that shithead if he was organizing clever stuff that would lead to violence, I'd have to upgrade him from 'pathetic internet troll' to 'punch in the face'.

You don't have to respect the guy, he will be punished severely in his home country for his multiple crimes if this comes out.
