This conman and fraudster, Billy McFarland was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 6 years. He served 4 years and was released in March 2022. He is currently keeping a low profile, but there are execs and inventors lining up to meet him to seek his marketing talents.

Something is definitely wrong in this world if people languish in prison for half their lifetimes for just possessing a few grams of weed, but people like these defraud others of millions of dollars but only get 4 years in prison. And then find other fraudsters trying to kiss their ass when they are released.

And the other conman, Ja Rule got away.

The comments on the twitter thread are quite interesting. OP asks to pay close attention to the guy in the green jacket.

Personally, I think all top athletes dope in some way or the other. And they and their handlers know how to jump through the loopholes.

Really lucky for her. Surviving like that with a broken leg. Reminded me of "Touching the void" by Joe Simpson.

Amazing news. What a brilliant doctor and his specialist team. The advances in medicine and technology helped save this man's life and faculties. We are truly living in a golden age where this is possible, which wouldn't have been a few years ago. Now only if we stop screwing up the other things, it would be great.
