I wish i could go to jail in a 250 million dollar mansion
BTW…the bond is just his parents home. They didn't put up 250 mil (which the media sometimes mkes it sound like they did). Maybe the home is 20 mil -ish at best.
He is getting the kid glove treatment for the elites. I wonder if he is somehow related to Pelosi…. this will take weeks for Congress to sweep this under the rug.
"Jail at home" – Meanwhile he'll be having orgy's and raving while having every pleasure on earth at his mansion. What kind of jail is this????
"It is essentially jail, but jail at home." Do you mean like the lockdown we've had for the past two years? He'll enjoy sleeping until noon, playing video games, eating Doritos, and watching movies in surround sound while checking out the Interwebs. He may start a Twitch stream or a YouTube channel.
He will be suicided before he is allowed to speak
So he paid for his bail with other people's money, right?
The fact that the democrats brought there paycheck back to America to let him bail himself out with millions of stolen dollars. Why was his bank account not seized why was his parents house not seized.
FRAUD CHARGES CAN WE HOLD THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTED FOR FRAUD CHARGES AS WELL ITS CLEAR AS DAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT COMMITS FRAUD
He’s skin and bones. I guess the standard issue jail food wasn’t good enough for this crook.
Goldman-Sachs, Lehman Bros, Bernard Maddoff, Tzvi Erez, Wendell Jacobson, Robert H. Shapiro, Scott Rothstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Sam Bankman-Fried, …. Do you see a PATTERN here?
So where is the remaining 246M in collateral?
Steal billions, and get to spend Christmas with Stanford mommy and daddy. This people HAVE NEVER had it hard in their lives. Shame in the criminal Justice system.
as long as he can dress up as Jewish as possible,, Israel will welcome the brother
<<The rich stays rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stays poor by spending like the rich yet not investiing like the rich
This guy is probably going to see how the charges are going to play out and if they give him a deal worth taking, if not I believe he will run.
$ 250,000,000.00 bail paid on the spot! WHO SAYS; “YOU CAN NOT BUY JUSTICE IN THE USA ? “ what a travesty ? I am sure the money is in his parents offshore bank accounts.
Outrageous amount of money for a bail condition..
That's what mommy & daddy can do.
That’s such bs, that house is know where near 250 million
How was he able to post that bail when he owes people 320 times that amount? Wtf is wrong with this country. WTFfffffff
2nd largest contributor to the Democratic Party !
Any more need to be said here !
Why no coverage of that ?
Death penalty. He needs the death penalty for ruining as many lives as he had. He's today's Madoff.
I'm glad to see 99% of America doesn't know how bonds work. 😆😆🤣🤣🤣 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thought he was broke?!! This is what happens when you help pull off a huge scam w/politicians = nothing will happen
This is what is wrong with the law.
🧐 No house in California is worth 250 MILLION.
WHERE DID THAT CASH COME FROM?
Start holding people responsible.
System is a joke
This whole thing is a con job from start to finish. Do you really think he will spend the rest of his life in jail?
Didn’t he just say he had less than $100,000! Now he comes up with $250,000,000! Someone’s been payed off. House arrest ain’t jail. Especially a multi zillion dollar mansion. Madoff went straight to jail, and did not pass GO. Sick.
If this Mofo gets anything less than 25, everyone has there hand in the cookie jar
I'm confident the current market has an equal possibility of making high-value gains or losses, so I'm cautious with my selections; but, I heard that a trader made over $250k in this recession influenced market, and I could really need ideas on how to achieve similar profits.
So he's using customer money on bonding out nice
"It is essentially jail, but jail at home."
That's like when you go to a friend's house as a kid and they're "grounded" but they still playing Playstation and watching TV in their room
🤔
Clowns!! Biggest lesson of 2022 in the financial market: Nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.
