re: JP Funes officially charged

Still can’t believe they ran McBride off.

Same here. I think he really would have done some good for the system.

don't know about the leadership, but a motherfricker making $300K annually and stealing money to boot, deserves to be arse raped in prison.

I've got people making 40K a year and raising kids, paying a mortgage, tuition, braces, etc. and not stealing. That he wasted such an opportunity and a gift of a job makes me want to kick the shite out of him.

100% this.

Every time a person person games the system, it gives just a little more validity to the “the system is broken” and “the one percenters are crooked” arguments.

An example needs to be made here. This jackass needs to be raked over the coals to let everyone know that people who “win the game”, then go in and start stealing won’t be tolerated ever.

Every time a foundation or charity does sketchy shite, it makes me think twice about donating. I don’t want my money to be pissed away on bullshite

He simply lost the fight against the good ole boy’s system.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

How is he the victim here?

Other than perhaps that last comment about the good ole boy network, I don't think anyone is saying he is a victim. Even he isn't saying that as he's come clean to investigators, etc. His "defenders" are only saying that he is a good guy who has done alot of good things in addition to these obvious wrongs we've recently found out about.

Also, how disconnected from knowledge of their personal finances could his wife realistically be? A chartered plane for two football games, really?

---

A lot of wives just don’t WANT to know.

Rich people don’t go to jail for shite like this. He’ll plead guilty for probation and restitution.

He wired money across state lines
He laundered money (see above and Fla connection)
He stole from a children hospital and its foundation for 6 years
He took family and friends on private jet trips at expense of hospital
He stole from nuns

His wife's family is very rich..but he WILL do time, period, no way around it..maybe only a few years but he will live in Oakdale et. al. for a time

"you come from NY, your killed a good ole boy, there is no way this is not going to trial"

A lot of wives just don’t WANT to know.

He don't deserve an ounce of sympathy... But I can verify that his wife absolutely drove the 'lifestyle' in that household, including the very costly move/renovation just across the neighborhood.

quote:

---

I don’t think anybody is “ defending “ him or thinks he deserves anything but what our laws prescribe. I just think those of us who know him personally feel compassion for him and his family, are sad that he wrecked his own life and hope that eventually (after he pays for his crime) that he has a good meaningful life again with his family.

go back to the original thread. There was at least one person defending the shite out of him.

and I don't see how you can begin to have sympathy for the guy. I knew him at LSU. Served on the IFC with him. He was a good dude.
But this is unforgivable and worthy of suspension of good will- present or future. Not just because of what he did, but given the fact that there was no reason to do it. As pointed out- no drugs, gambling, hookers, etc. JUST PURE GREED.

And not greed because he was some broke dick working a shitty job. Or had a sick kid. Or was a disadvantaged ghetto dweller and never had a shot. He is pretty much the definition of "having it all" and still couldn't help steal. I liked the JPF I knew at LSU. frick this guy, he can rot in a cell.
