Not since Bonnie & Clyde have we seen such camaradarie among couples who feel that crime pays. Just today there were two stories released about the men who steal and the women who love them. It really warms the heart, and just in time for Valentines Day!
First off, there's good ol' Bernie Madoff's wife Ruth, who decided to assist her better half in ripping off millions from unsuspecting investors. (Hey - the experts are always yapping about how couples need to find hobbies that they enjoy doing together....) She's said to have withdrawn some $15 million before Bernie got bagged. In fact, $10 million was removed just the day before his confession. I bet they're both feeling just awful, especially holed up in the penthouse suite while they await their fate. So romantic....
And in other heartwarming news, the girlfriend of Samuel Israel III, the guy convicted of the $400 million fraud involving the collapse of hedge fund firm Bayou Group, has admitted to assisting him in being a fugitive of justice when he faked his own suicide and escaped. Not sure what exactly she got out of it, but I suppose love is blind. What's $400 million between lovers, anyway?
All I can is, these guys must be DAMN good in bed.
Why is it every post you make ends up on the front page? I'm not complaining, just curious.
It's because she's paid to post here. Just like Edmundo. They are always making the front page because WSO needs content.
Just my two cents.
I can read the news and repeat it on here with some sly commentary...pay me too!
I was actually wondering the same thing... Affluenza, are you WSO staff then?
youngmoney, i think both Edmundo and Affluenza are paid to post. If what Edmundo says is true (about him living outside of the US), maybe both of them are freelance writers.
Their posts always hit the front page before ANYONE ELSE has commented. If you or I create a post, it typically has to be great material or must generate a substantial amount of interest before it's bumped to the front page.
I noticed that too, didn't think much about it....but now it does make me curious.
I think the same standards should apply to Affluenza and Edmundo. Edmundo is pretty good but I don't even read Affluenza's posts because if I want the news I'll read the Drudge report.
