Once-jailed banker gets $104 million whistleblower payout

[Jaron]

Yes, we all know individuals crack and shoot up their source of angst:

Not applicable, anymore than a school shooting is an indicator teachers who fail students are prone to vengeance killings or being added to 'hit lists'.

[Jaron]

This is way different. You're talking about mental instability, I'm talking about rationally planned out vengeance killing for whistle blowing. Yes, we all know individuals crack and shoot up their source of angst: schools, work places, the home of an ex-spouse.

But putting people on a hit list because they blew a whistle*? No, that is far fetched.

* - You just put your lips together and you come real close.

Swiss bankers do a lot of work for Russian and Islamic businessmen, the two types that are rather big on revenge.

That's a very silly argument. It is weak and lacks any kind of substantial foundation. You are saying if a then b, when a is unsubstantiated. Your fear of Russians and your hatred of Muslims is leaking into your arguments and breaking it apart before our very eyes. It is the same type of knee jerk reaction that plagues discussion about homosexuals -- not to play the gay card, but being that you're so exposed to that type of weak logic I would imagine you'd be better than that.

Who is the source of hypothetical assassin hirer's angst? The whistle-blower of course.

[Admiral Yi]

The whistleblower law specifies the cut of the damages the whistleblower gets.  It's not discretionary AFAIK.

No, my fear of Russians taking revenge on people is completely unsubstantiated.

Seriously, you are probably the most imbecilic person I know - so full of idiocy, I sometimes want to strangle you with my bare hands or smash your face in with a sledge hammer.

Remember, you're going to want to choke up on the grip, knees slightly bent, and be sure to turn your hips into the swing.

[Caliga]

Good that you are not in charge, you fucking idiot. Such "crimes" are notoriously difficult to discover without insider knowledge and often are in the grey area of legality, so severe penalties would be neither fair nor they would act as a deterrent.

  Hilarious mental image.

Marti is angry this morning, it's like he forgotten all the anti-gay people he has a met & concentrated his anger on poor Tim.

I have notice, the more & more time the languish expat spend in Asia, the more dense they become.

Is this one of those fetish swing things with a mounted dildo?

No, it was more like rotational swinging for baseball, but I guess it could apply to dildos.

[DGuller]

Normally I'm not a fan of posters discussing the best methods to employ while torturing and killing other posters, but normally even Tim doesn't post things that silly. 

[jimmy olsen]

Well if I was in charge there would much more severe penalties for these sorts of crimes, so a plea deal with a reduced sentence would be quite an inducement for this fellow.

They caught this guy without super secret insider knowledge didn't they? If his choice was 2 years in jail and tell, or keep quiet and spend 20, he'd tell.

No doubt the Russian mob is not a bunch you'd want to cross, but why exactly would they take revenge against an American ratting out his fellow Americans for tax fraud?

Not at all. You want your hands close together at the end of the handle, legs braced, swing with the shoulders and pull back with the legs just before impact. It's not a fucking stick.
