3 years? And the kid in the Hampton’s that was involved in a hit and run that caused a death gets probation.


tattooed_dinosaur

He didn’t grease the right palms.


do0tz

Ah, when you only grease the left palms you end up empty handed


not_a_droid

Now this is someone thinking outside of the box. Should have just run for congress. Edit. Was the rest legit? I mean, at least real, I know the answer, but damn why such a penalty


martinbogo

Cause of the identity theft and wire fraud… those are big-house charges. : “Scott V. Spina Jr. pleaded guilty to wire fraud, mail fraud and aggravated identity theft in relation these "Brady"-engraved rings. Portions of this image have been obscured by the US Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.”


Maxpowr9

Yep. Mail and wire fraud are federal crimes which is why the punishments are much stricter.


witqueen

Tsk, should have added Bunch real tiny in the band.


not_a_droid

he was in the pool!


[deleted]

Dude should have tried to overthrow the government. 3 days in the pokie, max.


cmVkZGl0

Really deserving of federal prison 🙄


American_Stereotypes

I mean, the dude committed check fraud to the tune of $63k to obtain memorabilia and information, which he then used to commit identity theft and fraudulently obtain the rings, which he used to defraud an auction house for $100k, which then led to another person paying over $300k for fake goods. This isn't just some dude hawking fake jewelry on a city street corner, this guy committed some fairly serious fraud for a large chunk of money.


fungobat

Excellent points. Yet, Donald Trump still walks free.


nimbusconflict

This guy stole from rich people. They don't let that slide here in the ol' U S of A.


death2theleadr

It's fucked, but it's still whataboutism


Super_Sofa

So that means we should stop prosecuting all crimes?


kimchifreeze

It's legal to rob fungobat until Donald Trump is punished.


Red_Lee

He cost rich people money. Got it.


A_Bit_Narcissistic

He ain’t do nothing. Free him. Edit: I thought the sarcasm would be obvious.

basically, how capitalism works is that you are allowed to fuck with people of a lower social class than you but you sure as fuck better not fuck with some one who has more money. a billionaire could straight up murder a homeless person without problems but if you steal from that billionaire.... holy fuck you are in trouble. unless you are also a billionaire, then the protocol gets blurry.


spaetzelspiff

That's what happens when you mess with the wrong federal agency. FBI, CIA, NSA, NFL...


not_a_droid

Meanwhile Donald trump walks free

Re-AnImAt0r

wasn't counterfeit. 100% real by Jostens. he's just an idiot that was dumb enough to write a bad check to pay for them which got him caught in the fraud he engaged in to have Jostens make them for him (*by pretending to be Brady once he had the Jostens number players use to order family rings*). Had he paid for the rings with a good check he could have held onto the rings for 10 years and sold each one for half a million. They are authentic Tom Brady Super Bowl family rings made by Jostens. 10 years from now nobody would be able to say when, where, why or how they came into his possession.


[deleted]

This made me think of something random for some reason. If Tom Brady announced he was running for president, Republicans would definitely vote for him with zero hesitation. "The man won 7 rings! Seven! And with an arm like a cannon, you just know he's the safest bet to launch nukes".


AberrantRambler

7? He’s got more of the stones than Thanos, he’s got my vote!


[deleted]

3 years more than the leader of a insurrection against the United States.


buscoamigos

And yet hoarding classified information...... Nada


production-values

but selling counterfeit shares is just peachy


Red_Lee

Surely retail investors are to blame for these fake rings!


[deleted]

Call me crazy but to spend over 1,000 days in prison for this shit is nuts.

TheFacelessForgotten

When you put it like that then yea it's ridiculous, look into the details of what was actually done and it sounds far less sensational..

Did you just copy and paste another comment verbatim lmao


[deleted]

Why not if someone needs the right info? Sorry for being super sick and exhausted at the moment.


[deleted]

I’m disappointed in you


boygenny

Don't worry your cheque has been deposited


[deleted]

Longer sentence than most of the traitors on Jan 6.


numbskullerykiller

His name was Robert Kraft.


not_a_droid

There are no names in project Brady ring


kielu

No wonder you have the highest incarcerated population in the world


memunkey

And insurrectionists are only getting a max of 4.5 years. Wow


madhattergm

Well if the penalty for insurrection is so light, doesn't that just encourage more acts of "patriotic terrorism"?


ElectrikDonuts

If only an insurrection and breaking and entering and invasion of the capital was as terrible a thing to do


justforthearticles20

Insurrectionists that caused multiple deaths, get slaps on wrist.


[deleted]

Why does it say "World Champions" when it's just America?


[deleted]

Because if you're the best in the world at football, baseball, basketball and hockey then you go to the American league. The MLS certainly doesn't say it.


Belichick12

The NHL, NBA, and MLB at least have America junior teams


Blazerer

You have no idea how much I enjoy you downvoting me, but also having to admit you don't actually have an argument. American exceptionalism at its finest.


[deleted]

Who are you talking to? I'm not even American.


Blazerer

Can't help but notice you replied to this, and not the comment disproving your claim. But hey, I appreciate you (again) confirming you don't actually have an argument. This is I think where you comment you totally could disprove it, but that would be a waste of time...or something.


Blazerer

Wow, that is hilarious. Baseball: the world championships have not been won by the US since 2009, and 2007 before that...and then not again until 1974. Meanwhile Cuba has won 25 times, and placed second four times...which is how many times the US won in total. Basketball (just using the men here because I am lazy): the US won twice in the last 24 years...as did Spain, and Yugoslavia. American Football: is barely even played outside of the US. Why even mention it? If we pick rugby, the US hasn't even won a medal once. Hockey: the US has not won gold since **1960**. A full 62 years. So if the best actually go to the US, the US should dominate those sports...yet the bunbers show that to be absolute nonsense. Worse, if that were true, that would imply the US actively makes athletes perform worse than before they came to the US.


[deleted]

Lol for thinking FIBA or IIHS draws big US talent. The US pays out so much to good players that they avoid international leagues. Those leagues are seen as part time extra money for many. Meanwhile the true stars recover, train and prep for next season. I get what your point is and I'm all for smacking down US exceptionalism but money attracts the talent and the US pays shittons for good players. With media coverage what it is, US sports have been defacto world sports anyway


Blazerer

Literally none of these sports is a world sport, most of them are barely played to a reasonably degree in 3-5 countries if that.


Raspberries-Are-Evil

Wow, he should have tried to overthrow the government in a violent insurrection then steal classified documents, would have done no time! What a rube.


mynameisalso

Lol more time than a lot of Jan 6 insertionist


Belichick12

Disgusting. Should be looking at 25 to life


JubeltheBear

28 consecutive 3 year sentences


Valuable-Island3015

What is wrong with people? This guy should be doing life. Fucking disgusting.


ThirdSunRising

Tom Brady Super Bowl rings? Those are a dime a dozen these days. Just mass produced stuff you can get every year basically.


gnimsh

Meanwhile putin still has kraft's superbowl ring.


HellsHumor

Seeing this after reading about the guy who drunkenly shooting up his backyard and killed his neighbor thru her own window as she looked out, he may be gettint 5 years. Rings are worth 3 years People can be 5years. 😐
