For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
He and his mob associate thought they'd use a million dollars of jems to make a movie prop? Neither of them thought that maybe the insurance valuation was due to their history? Not the brightest pair of criminals I've ever heard of.
Sounds like a comedy heist movie plot.
Buddy heist comedy. It writes its self:
"No Jordan, the shoes have real rubies on them. They have to because if they didn't it would be 'false advertising. They can't do that! Its in the Constitution."
The awesome thing is once you have the slippers, the getaway is only a few heel claps away!
Yeah, getting in is the hard part
Has there ever been an intelligent mobster? Ever? They are famously dumb as fuck.
This dipshit should not avoid jail/prison. Fuck this guy. He was willing to deprive the world of a work of art for his greed.
What's the point? He's wheelchair bound, on oxygen, and dying in a few months. Just throwing more taxpayer money away
Would that be a death sentence? (Assuming you read the article:)
Do they bring him oxygen to his cell where he sits in a wheelchair and perhaps change his diapers and so on?
He’s in hospice care, which probably looks similar to some nice Nordic prisons anyway. Prison with a care team.
They're shoes from a movie. A movie made by likely mobsters
He had the power to leave prison all along.
