The judge from Monrovia
IGGY GAVE $ 😂
Friends please celebrate with me for the help Dr osaba has rendered to for curing my herpes virus
They would have went out of their way to charge him if he was black, let's keep it real…
As said below, ignorance is not a defense but he's on the record indirectly acknowledging that he knew the money was ill-gotten. There was a text that was reported-on when this story came out, in which Favre asks something to the effect "If the media ever finds out about this, is there any way for them to know where the money came from?". GUILTY and now a hypocrite too? Oh, how the mighty have fallen. What a dirtbag.
Why do they keep desiring more money, like as if christmas
Well, doesn't Brett Favre think he's ENTITLED. 😒
He's a lying sack of crap. He deserves to rot in a stinking cell.
Wow
He should also pay restitution to the state. Especially, because he never gave the speech; he was paid for by those funds.
Y is he the expert? He is not the most qualifued–clearly. Any civil lawyer would do so y not add color?
These white folks on this news ain’t telling how it is lol they can’t trick nobody but themselves. People have died and life completely changed, because their own government is screwing them. The only real justice this clown with get is when he’s faces God. Just like the rest of these white man that’s running the world . They all in cahoots with the devil.
Brett Farve worth over 100 millions dollars. Could not foot the bill 2 to 4 million dollars for his daughter… Thats sickening
So if I find money and start spending and it comes out that the money was left by bank robbers…..
I’ve seen the evidence, Brett Favre should be arrested and prosecuted for fraud against the government.
Even if he didn't truly know. Everything else like. Use prison labor and can anyone find out where the money came from all while pocketing over a million for speeches and not doing them.
Lock him up! This why Mississippi is behind now.
No!!!!! His a$$ needs to go to jail!!!
LMAO!
PUT HIM IN JAIL….HE KNEW ALONG HE WAS WRONG
The caucacity SMH.
Removed? How privileged
BS
🤣 brings up oj!!!
If he didn’t know why did he ask about the media finding out? He needs prison
Can’t wait to see what happens with this… I suspect they’ll pat him on the back like a good ole boy from the South and look the other way.
I don't understand the greed of someone as rich and famous as Brett Favre feeling the need to rip off the government for even more money to fatten his already swollen bank account. Doesn't he already have enough?
Brett Favre ……prison MVP
He did not know that rich white men had any chance of being held accountable.
He's going to have to pay all that money back plus some fines and do a little bit of jail time. Total jerk move on his part.
Brett Favre is a disgrace.
🤑🤑🤑🤑
Hi si descasrting regardless Hi comet a crime and just because he is white .
Why is a wealthy conservative asking the state for money in the first place ? They hate it when middle class and poor people ask for it.
At any rate, he knew he could keep going back to the same source multiple times. That's odd. People who are raising money, typically go to different sources.
Also why would he care if the media found out about the money and who gave it to him?
Fav-rah. The disrespeck! 😂
Sure, remove him. But remove him from the Hall of Fame as well.
Sounds about white
They have text to prove that he was in communication with Governor acknowledging that he can get in trouble for using these mis appropriated funds.
Also how can you recieve funds from a fictitious entity that you have no knowledge off.
"People that steals the most, looks like him."
Brett Favre..the welfare king!
This POS new what went down was illegal. He's trying to use his White Privilege.
Sounds about white
lol
The nerve of him!
You knew he was sleazy when he sent dic pics to that young Jets employee.
ya he didnt know at all. which is why he was sure to text asking that no one would be able to find out… completely innocent behavior
It IS 'Favre' and not 'Farve' but then the guest, who made the initial correction, goes back to saying 'Farve', at least 7 times 😂. If y'all had pronounced it 'Favre' since day 1 perhaps you would have noticed this corruption 😂👍
