“He said … ‘If I just had another two months, I could get the money back,’” Mitchell told NBC News.
So the CEO was a gambling addict on top of being a clear idiot. How the fuck do these people fail their way into these positions and not get filtered out along the way?
This was a sad read. A gambling addict would have at least had a chance to make money. This guy just kept throwing money away other peoples money and never saw any returns.
I can’t believe someone at the bank didn’t question the strange wire transfers. Or that the guy who told him he was being scammed didn’t immediately reach out to the authorities.
Question: Wouldn’t the FDIC reimburse most of these people’s money?
Well, serious crime did fall dramatically while he was mayor. People argue about whether or not stop-and-frisk was responsible and I don’t know the answer, but his overall policy on policing was clearly very successful. He was popular enough for the city to change the rules about term limits so that he could be mayor for one more term, and subsequent mayors have not been as popular.
A quick look shows that both forms ask the voter to attest they are US citizens and warns them of penalties for filling out the form fraudulently, but using the State form requires the voter to show proof, while using the Federal form does not require the voter to show that proof. They can simply show some ID and proof of residence, which doesn’t necessarily prove citizenship.
So if voting a fundamental enough right that you hold it inherently? If you move to a different district only to find that your dog ate your long form birth certificate, should you be disenfranchised until you get a new copy?
I am actually surprised the number is that high. I’ve always had a passport. My parents felt it was something we should have even though it wasn’t needed.

Or like me and the government suddenly states that your original birth certificate from the 1980s is no longer valid and that you must purchase a new one to the tune of $80. Fuck them and this bullshit.
