crime

You now that wealthy prince in Nigeria who keeps sending you emails about how he is trying to get money out of his country? Turns out, he is not a prince, he is a pastor. And, if you want to be wealthy, you may want to consider becoming a pastor yourself.

Want to be worth $20 million? $50 million? $100 million? More? School not your thing? Start a business, a church, more significantly. You too an become wealthy, if you have the gift of gab and are touched by the lord.

What can I say? When a criminal turns oneself into a billionaire, they are doing something right successfully. Of course, you know you will make enemies, and if Putin is one of them...

Russian billionaire Dmitry Mikhalchenko is headed to a penal colony for smuggling alcohol into Russia. He is a very well connected Russian who seems to now be on the wrong side of some of his benefactors. He will be in the penal colony for nearly 5 years, unless there is intervention -- purchased or otherwise.

When your billionaire brother is no longer available to live off of comfortably, you have to find other ways of raising money. How about a campaign to remove Trump from office that is trying to raise only $50,000,000?

Roberto 'El Osito' Escobar believes he can get Trump impeached, if you just give him $50 million to cover his expenses. He would probably just ask Pablo, if that option was still available, because he himself was quite involved in the Colombian political system through his largess and carnage. This is a family of political activists!

Yes, cronyism can make one very, very rich. Hell, it has made many very rich, but when the politicians doling out the favors need a fall guy, it is going to be the outsider. And for one, that means being hanged.

We do not know why. It is not an institution expressly for the purposes of educating criminals, but many with the pathology of the criminal -- sociopaths? -- are drawn to this institution of higher learning special connections.

No comment, if you want to keep it polite.

There has been a lot of coverage of the Chinese billionaire accused of rape, but what is most absurdly interesting is the prosecutor in Minnesota lying from the get go, saying his wealth is irrelevant.

Anyone? Anyone on the planet believe this?

(Search the silly statement coverage.)

Us either.

Introducing Lual Malong, the self proclaimed youngest billionaire in South Sudan! How does one get rich in an impoverished country? Apparently, sell something that does not cost anything. You cannot beat the markup.

Ugandan authorities have arrested Lual Malong for what is being called a fake gold scam. [Read]

You know what the say, "Rich is rich!"

We have little to say that has not been said. It is understandable why people would refer to the Sackler family as evil, given what their Purdue Pharma has done to destroy lives in its scurry for another buck.

China don't play.

China has a thing referred to as Black Jail. Right now, one of the people they have locked away is the wife of Liu Changming, a man accused of joining the billionaire club by stealing money as a Chinese official -- shocker! -- via a massive fraud scheme. Out of the reach of the Chinese government, they nabbed his wife.
