Right, but the feds get their tip from somewhere. They just don't go looking into every case of a federal judge for some scandal. These days any time a high profile person gets caught for an indiscretion, we won't stop until we absolutely destroy them.

i don't even know that much about the story other than its cautionary tale values
people get encircled in their own bubble and believe their greatness, infallibility, and indestructibility
we're lawyers. we see this with our cohorts all the time

This dude has had his career and much of his life torn apart by this thing, which is certainly all his own fault. After all the dust settles what does a person even do? Move to a new community where no one knows you and get a job at the Cinnabon?

i often wonder about that with lawyers who lose their license, esp ones who primarily practice in "lower areas" like family law, criminal law, etc (i am not hating; i do these things). these areas don't really translate to other industries
if you're a corporate attorney, you gain contacts and skills within that world and can theoretically transition
hell one of the enron guys (the accountant under skilling. forget his name) teaching accounting ethics now

it was all over the front page of the Arkansas Democrat (whatever paper they have up there) last week. I was eating breakfast with my dad and saw it and started laughing and told him how dumb this dude was

How was he initially outed as being responsible for those posts?
Posted on 2/26/16 at 9:04 am to TigerNlc
me too. But seriously as a relatively younger guy, it is pretty much inconceivable for me to imagine spending all that time, work, and money just to go through school and then the even longer years building a career into a fairly prominent position in your field, and now it's all pretty much worthless. You can't work in the field anymore, and anywhere they have heard of you, you aren't respected. It's crazy to think about.

50K in cash...of which the judge got $25K. What a moron.
A prime example of when a person shows lack of integrity in some areas, there are likely others.

Just coming to chime in that months or a year before he posted Theron's adoption business here, a few of us warned him about posting details about various cases in his courtroom. He always replied that it was public record, blah blah.
He had plenty of reasons/notice/etc to NOT frick his life up, well his political life(if the fed case was independent of TD silliness).

He might find something in another field and may have sort of a normal life after this. Still relatively young. Definitely has to move and will have that record attached to him though.
