I'd like some background on the situation before I add to the conversation...

He isn't just not caring what other people think, he doesn't care about what happens to other people.

That's not admirable self confidence, that's a terminally large asshole.

Not everyone needs to be concerned with others to be a good person.

Also he is thinking about the investors in his company, we are like family to him so of course we take precedent over others.

Allegedly defrauded us, the govnerment has yet to prove it and this may be an Assistant US Attorney trying to make a name for himself.
Strange how he still be the market by wide margins while defrauding us.

I don't know about you guys, but the thought of him getting ass-pounded in prison brings a joyous tear to my eye.

He'll probably weasel his way out, somehow, but a man can dream.

Him in prison is to good a punishment, he needs to injected with some horribly debilitating disease and then have all lifesaving drugs withheld from him because they cost to much. This punishment is also contingent on his entire fortune being sized and distributed to all the people who were affected by his dick move.

HA. I feared this destructive leech would get away with it. I seriously hope this guy goes to prison and gets the shit beat out of him by the other inmates for what he did.

Problem is this is America. This job creator will probably end up in a "resort" prison like the junk bond guys and the savings and loan guys.

He will not end up in anything like Pelican Bay......

Good, that miserable creep deserves all he's gonna get. The prototype heartless and soulless executive that we could well do without. I trust government a heckuva lot more than I will ever trust people like him.
I do not support Donald J. Trump
