Which is worse:
Having sex with a 15-year old girl, or assisting in the theft of $207 Million?
What the hell are you talking about, Tim?
The only reason I bring this up is because as I read more about the Ohio Fair Financial scandal involving Marion County Prosecutor, Carl Brizzi, his statements sound very familiar.
Brizzi had known about the company for awhile. He had invested thousands of dollars into it, and served on the board of directors. He was in just as deep as anyone involved in the scandal, and once he read the investigation in the IBJ, he didn't jump ship because he was just becoming aware of the scandal. He's not stupid. He put his money, time, and influence into making sure that this scheme would make him cash. When the IBJ investigated, Carl learned one piece of information: Now his constituents are on to him. He jumps ship and hopes all is well, but then decides not to seek reelection.
If you read his post (found at http://www.carlbrizzi.com/blogDisplay.aspx?blogID=113 ) you will find his language being fairly recognizable. It's the same tone taken by every guest on NBC's mid-00 hit, Dateline: To Catch a Predator.
The impression I get is that the IBJ was Brizzi's Chris Hanson. Just like the predators who show up to the Dateline house, Carl knows what he's doing is wrong, but will never admit it until someone merely tells him that someone else knows his agenda. So, unsurprisingly, the underproductive prosecutor who hasn't done much of significance since his reelection will not be seeking his office for a third term.
Maybe instead he can spend some time with the folks he's been locking up for a few years. :0)
