I want Charles in Charge … of me
Today, the rest of the legal world is going apeshit over the Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling verdicts, temporarily forgetting that - to the American Justice system - “white-collar guilty” carries about the same meaning as “a nice vacation” for the rest of us, which I’m guessing means that the future “K-Lay” and “Home Skilling” will probably spend the next 9-12 months in a minimum security prison replete with conjugal visits from plasticine trophy wives, Cuban cigars, DirectTV, a “fenced-in” golf course, conference-calling capabilities, and hummers from their favorite inmate boy-toys. White-Collar Justice - Hoo-Wah!
However, we here at QuizLaw know our target audience, and understand that middle-aged corporate crooks don’t exactly appeal to the 18-34 demographic. But, Myspace.com does, especially for folks who stumble across our site while looking for ways to escape conviction after trolling online for under-age ass (forget about it - you’re going to fry). Which is why we have to hand it to the ingenuity of the Myspace teenage outcasts Shaun Harrison and Saverio Mondelli, who were busted yesterday for attempting to go all Glen Frey on the social-networking site. Allegedly, the two entrepreneuers hacked into the site and pilfered personal information from Myspace users. After Myspace gave them the boot, they threatened to introduce a foolproof method for stealing personal info to the Internets unless the folks at Myspace paid them $150,000. Unfortunately for Harrison and Mondelli, when they went to collect payment, they soon discovered that the Myspace reps were actually undercover cops, and they were arrested and charged with felony counts of illegal computer access and extortion.
And thank god, too, ‘cause it means that for at least a few more days my Myspace alter ego, FineAssLawyer82 (complete with pics of a “Charles in Charge”-era Scott Baio), will remain anonymous and my elusive online-hunt of Nicolle Eggert can continue unabated.
