@lorneseth Prosecutors declined charges, so legally he was never convicted of anything. California support rules look at income gap and marriage length, not fault. The law answers this one, not feelings.
@0x_markus In 2024 she was also jailed for 2 months for breaching a restraining order against her ex’s partner. Court cases were always part of the noise. Prison finally became part of it too.
Ireland's richest man turned a £100 loan into $6B. He lost €3B on 1 bank and went bankrupt. His son went to jail for helping him move assets out of reach. Then he went too, in a police van.
In 1973, Seán Quinn was digging gravel on his father's farm.
By 2008, he was No. 1 in Ireland and 164th in the world.
Then he secretly bought up 15% of Anglo Irish Bank. The bank collapsed and came after him for around €2.8B.
His family moved foreign assets out of reach, including an office tower in Moscow.
In July 2012, his son and nephew got 3 months for contempt. The nephew didn't even show up for the sentencing.
Now he's on camera.
How does it feel, going from one of the richest men in the world to bankrupt?
"I feel disappointed."
"I know I've made big mistakes."
On his children:
"They said okay then, if you want that, we'll help you."
"They've done that, and they've finished up in jail."
"Whatever they do to me, they shouldn't be doing it to my wife or my kids."
On November 2, 2012, a judge gave him 9 weeks for "outrageous and serious" contempt.
A police van took him to Mountjoy Prison.
@RonaldThomso Most of it was through CFDs, a bet on the share price. Anglo had bigger problems than him, but his stake was one of the things it had to cover up.
@softarox Costas also asked him about the 75% ratings drop that night. McMahon blamed the press, not the product. Eight weeks later NBC pulled out and the league was done.
A Missouri teacher made $42,000 a year. Her school caught her on OnlyFans, and she says she made $2M the next year.
Brianna Coppage taught high school English. Her husband had been laid off. She had student loans and credit card debt.
In 2022, she started OnlyFans on the side. $8,000 to $10,000 a month.
In February 2023, the account was found. The school put her on administrative leave. She quit and went full-time.
Now she's on camera.
"As a teacher I made around $42,000 a year."
And OnlyFans?
"In about the last year, I've made a little over $2 million."
The interviewer pauses.
"Let me just soak that in."
He has 2 daughters. He asks where society is going.
"When you have a temptation of $2 million versus $42,000…"
The debt is gone. The student loans are gone.
"I just bought a farm."
