Guess they never heard of the old saying 'when something sounds to be too good to be true, it probably is'.

Hey Tucker Black...now you have new leadership in Nevada, you can campaign to get the Constitution changed to allow lotteries in your state. If my printer worked, I'd definitely write a letter to them. (I've done that in the past to other states, but since I'm not a constituent they don't reply

What kind of idiot would invest in a scheme like this?

It doesn't excuse what the attorney did with their money, but for crying out loud, if you're going to invest in something, do a little homework before throwing your money away like that

..prohibited from working with securities is hardly a slap on the wrist. Though knowing these white collar criminal types he'll find a way out of this.

As for the Attorney in the article, best of my knowledge he can only lose his license to practice in that one state. Same for Physicians, screw up in one state and move on to another.

Anyone here remember Ivan Boesky?

The SEC fined him $100 million for insider trading and he asked if they accepted cash.

So much for restitution and probation. They would just be considered a slap on the wrist and implied incentive to do it again.

From Wikipedia

Although insider trading of this kind was illegal, laws prohibiting it were rarely enforced until Boesky was prosecuted.[7] Boesky cooperated with the SEC and informedon others, including the case against financier Michael

Restitution and Probation, R P, are good but they do not go far enough. I am thinking of re-education. The prisoners are a captive audience and should be taught again the correct way to live there lives.

The word illegal is a very strong word, however to some, it's viewed as a suggestion: From people attempting to skirt the rules in order to make a buck. Illegal migrants storming our borders, fighting with authorities in order to say l broke in, l am here, feed me, give me shelter thinking that is normal behavior.Fantasy is not reality.

Enough said.

and it is a shame that we do not have an alternative method of punishment besides putting the prisoner in with others. We should be leading the World in advanced ways to correct a person. Cells and bars have been around for Centuries. We can do better.

Greed got this man.

Orange might be Cobb's favorite color. He'll be a Federal prison, assuming conviction like Martha Stewart was in.

Some of him seems very bright, other parts as far as being an Attorney not so smart.

Feds bust up illegal fantasy football lottery scheme

A business pairing the enormously popular fantasy football leagues with the Georgia Lottery must have looked like a money-making combination.

Two eager investors thought so and forked out $500,000 in loans to the Atlanta man who hatched the idea of a fantasy football lottery league. But Timothy Cobb, a former lawyer who once worked for Turner Broadcasting System, was running a scam, according to allegations in a federal indictment unsealed this week.
