So either he's still lying about it or managed to escape all consequences. Either way I think I hate him. Yeah, I read the thread through. I meant in the ~thirteen years since.

Krispy Wafer posted:This could be really GWM depending on what the mortgage payment is. No doubt, following the standard car story these people tend to have, it will be a 20 year old Toyota Corolla banger, with ten other cars rolled into the debt for a total of $200,000 at 9% monthly interest.

Spokes posted:Was in the car this morning and looked over to the right. The woman in the next lane was steering with an elbow, talking on her phone with one hand and holding her credit card in the other (and reading from it). Only counts if she crashed said car (quite likely) with no insurance, and owing $200,000 on it after rolling the debt over buying the new year's model on 100% credit every year for the past seven. And the credit card was being read out to pay for MLM poo poo.

Blinkman987 posted:I assume Australia has restitution. "Aww, jeez, mate, I spent it all on heroin, and there's no way I buried a sack of cash out in the bush." Seriously, a banker that doesn't know how to hide cash? Come off it. EDIT: In this case, I think it's likely that she stole the money to pay off her twenty maxed out credit cards, 125% mortgage, a fleet of SUVs purchased on credit and ways of over-extending credit and plainly wasting money that I can't even imagine.

Eldred posted:I wonder how the hell someone destroys their life this badly, like whether the lies were the plan all along or if the tech just didn't come together and she was stuck spinning more to buy time. Looking forward to the biopic starring Jennifer Lawrence Just goes to show what scammers have known for millennia. Scream buzzwords loud enough, and promise the earth, and they'll be throwing quarry truck loads of money at you soon enough. I've always wondered why executives don't go on permanent "business trips" to Brazil with literal sacks of cash the moment said cash starts rolling in, as opposed to when it's far too late and the feds bust down the door.

You need a degree to enter a job which is reowned for intensely difficult yet drudge labour and minimum wage pay, and that is suffering massive labour shortages because of those reasons? Do you Americans have degree requirements for street sweeping and unskilled manual labour as well?

Nope, but it doesn't stop our criminals and child support dodgers from trying.

I enjoy learning about the existence of such people, as not only do I feel better about myself in comparison, I also like to imagine them stumbling through life in an amusing, oblivious Mr. Magoo fashion, somehow always coming out on top against all odds.
