And the world turns. Same Chit different day. [ram27bat]

I might do it.... 😟

Pretty funny chit.

It's always an illness. Can't ppl just admit their mistakes for once. If they did i might actually agree with the light sentencing.

$300,000 a year tax free, then 2.5 years of free medical and housing. He'll probably be in "punk city" in a minimum security facility anyway.

How much you want to bet he's on the consultant/speaking circuit as soon as he's cleared to travel after release as well?

Nah, he'll get a job at his brothers' AB distributorship.

Prolly the same type person who would posts pictures of a tractor or a built in humidor or a listening room that they found on the Internet, but tried to pass them off as their own.

Maybe he was the person who ran up the prices on all the auctions about the time Tac got banned last year.

Must be why it makes no sense to me

Now if they could only nail his father, there would be some justice in the world...

No, but he was able to afford a 5-pack of the latest Gurhka blend...and gave $0.50 left over...
