Corporate Thugging Gone Wrong: Ex-Microsoft Employee Gets Years In The Bing [Video]

0
0

A former Microsoft employee was sentenced to two years in prison on Friday for his part in an insider trading scheme that netted him and his partner more than $400,000. 32 year-old Brian Jorgenson had pleaded guilty to securities fraud for his part in a sophisticated operation in which he passed private information he gleaned from his job as a corporate finance manager at Microsoft to a former colleague who traded stocks and options. Prosecutors had sought a prison sentence of 2-1/2 years for Jorgenson, who they say was the instigator of the scheme. Jorgenson, a father of four with no history of crime, had asked for one year and a day imprisonment, plus 500 hours of community service.

Swirl No More? Kendra Wilkinson Spotted Partying It Up With Robin Thicke

Are these two looking for a an all-white rebound?

Kendra Wilkinson Spotted Partying With Robin Thicke

Kendra Wilkinson’s got one foot out of the door after hubby Hank Baskett knocked down a tranny, and Robin Thicke is minus Paula Patton after he smashed whomever in sight during his Blurred Lines success. The two almost-newly-single swirl-enthusiasts crossed paths at a Hollywood club the other night, and may be getting cozier in the future. Via TheHollywoodGossip:

Having met with a divorce lawyer to assess her crumbling union, Kendra Wilkinson also needs to let loose to make sure she doesn’t get totally depressed.

Enter Robin Thicke, a man who knows a thing or two about crumbling marriages!

Stepping out with her girlfriends for the second time in as many weeks, the mother of two had dinner at Aventine Hollywood before hitting up a nearby lounge.

“Kendra had a couple of drinks … she was being social and dancing,” says the source, who notes that Thicke and rapper Too Short hung with her.

“It was a super fun night, but nothing too crazy.” Like closing down the club.

That said, things on the home front are less of a party.

Despite reports that Kendra is looking to capitalize on Hank Baskett’s cheating scandal, People sources say there’s likely no going back to him now.

“She’s definitely had conversations with divorce lawyers about everything from finances to custody,” a Wilkinson source says. “It’s just a matter of time.”

Kendra has been tearing the club down since her divorce drama began! Not sure how wise it would be for Kendra to link up with someone else who is known to cheat…but these two are probably good for a lil no-strings rebound smash-out — if that’s where things are headed.

Poor thang

Porn Star Christy Mack Beaten By War Machine

Police are currently on the hunt for MMA fighter War Machine after they say he got into an altercation with his porn star girlfriend Christy Mack.

Mack was apparently so badly injured during the “3-person altercation” that she can “barely talk.”

SMFH…

TMZ reports:

Porn star Christy Mack can barely speak after the beating in which her boyfriend War Machine is the prime suspect … TMZ has learned.

As we previously reported … police say War Machine was involved in a 3-person altercation early Friday morning at their home in Vegas. One of the victims was described as the fighter’s “significant other” — and now Mack’s rep confirms she was involved.

We’re told the porn star is currently in “very bad shape” and afraid for her life.

Christy’s rep says they’re unclear about what happened in their home … because Mack’s injuries have made it difficult for her to speak.

The rep also says Christy’s family and friends are willing to pony up a $5000 reward to anyone who can help police locate the fugitive MMA fighter.

Las Vegas police say they are unaware of the reward.

The rep adds, “We just want to find him. We are all very scared.”

A domestic beating from an MMA fighter??? NOONE deserves that kind of treatment.

For Discussion: Does Focus On Black Celebrity Skew Our Real Financial Standing?

Does the focus on celebrity dull the impact of poverty?

The Decadent Veil: Black America’s Wealth Illusion

Writer Antonio Moore has some thoughts on America’s focus on wealthy Black celebrity, and how it shapes how we view Black people’s financial standing in this country. Via HuffingtonPost:

As black celebrity invited us into their homes through shows like MTV cribs, we forgot the condition of overall African American financial affairs. Despite a large section of the 14 million black households drowning in poverty and debt the stories of a few are told as if they represent those of millions, not thousands. It is this new veil of economics that has allowed for a broad swath of America to become not just desensitized to black poverty, but also hypnotized by black celebrity. How could we not, our channels are filled from ESPN to VH1 with presentations of black Americans being paid a king’s ransom to entertain.

As black celebrity has been shown to millions of people, millions of times, the story of real lives has also been lost, and with it the engine that thrust forward the demand for social justice by the masses. The heartbeat of social action is to recognize your mistreatment, and demand better. With each presentation of Kobe Bryant’s 25 million dollar a year contract, or Oprah’s status as the sole African American billionaire a veil of false calm is created within the overall American economic psyche about the immense black wealth disparity. Young black men from ghettos across America that used to dream to make great changes in racial inequity now just dream to be a millionaire and be like mike and dunk a ball or dance on a stage. The decadent veil not only warps our vision outward to a larger economic world, but it also distorts outside community’s view of our actual financial reality.

As reported by MSNBC the median net worth of the few black households in the top 1 percent was $1.2 million dollars, while according to the Census median net worth for all black households was about $6,000 in total.

A black family in the 1 percent is worth a staggering 200 times that of an average black family. If black America were a country we would be among the most wealth stratified in the world.

It is because of this concentration of wealth that any view of averages is destroyed for black America, the disparity between rich and poor is too high. When a few families have a massive percentage of wealth it pulls the average up so astronomically that it makes the mean present a false narrative.

Did you realize the gaps were that large? What are your thoughts?

Orlando Brown Of Disney's That's So Raven Arrested For DUI

Bruh…

Orlando Brown Formally Charged After Making Death Threats To Woman And Child

According to TMZ reports:

Disney star Orlando Brown has been charged with 3 crimes after showing up at a woman’s apartment in the middle of the night and threatening to kill her and her kid.

Orlando faces 2 counts of disturbing the peace as well as public intoxication. He wasn’t charged with making death threats, even though cops say you clearly hear the threats in the 911 call.

The L.A. City Attorney concluded there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him for the threat. They didn’t believe the woman feared for her life.

TMZ broke the story … the “That’s So Raven” star showed up at a woman’s apartment in North Hollywood last month and went nuclear … threatening to kill the woman, her daughter, and her mother.

Orlando claimed the woman was a stalker and denies he made any threats. If convicted … he faces up to 9 months in jail.

He absolutely needs to do every single one of those months. Homie is all throwed off.

Come Clean: Fugitive Columbus Short Admits That Man He Knocked Out Never Slapped His Wife

Columbus Short

Not sure if the truth will set him free this go-round…

Columbus Short Sends Incriminating Text Message To Man He Knocked Out

According to TMZ reports:

Fugitive from justice Columbus Short lied when he claimed the guy he knocked out in an L.A. bar had it coming because he slapped his wife … fact is, Columbus confessed to the guy IN WRITING.

You’ll recall … Columbus was arrested in March after sucker punching a guy during an engagement party at a West L.A. sports bar. The guy ended up in the hospital with a concussion and broken nose.

Columbus spoke out last month … claiming he punched the guy in defense of his wife, because the man was taunting the “Scandal” star’s wife, slapping her in the face with $20 bills.

But we’ve obtained a text message Columbus sent to the guy he hit … sent the very same night of the incident. Columbus wrote, “I know im texting and incriminating myself but I have to own what I did wrong in that situation.”

Columbus goes on, “Im so sorry and completely disappointed in myself,” adding, “Whether I go to jail or not that will be the worst punishment of all. Losing you guys.”

Unless he’s gonna run for the rest of his life, Columbus might as well come back to the states, face the music, do his little jail time, and get on with the rest of his life. It’s only gonna get worse if he drags this thing out.

Sounds like cold blooded murder!

The FBI opened a civil rights investigation on Monday after the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager led to rioting in a Missouri suburb and stirred racial tensions. The family of Michael Brown demanded “justice for our son” as witnesses and police gave conflicting versions of how the 18-year-old was shot in broad daylight on Saturday, two days before he was to start college. “We think it will be very clear, when all of this is over, what really happened and how this child was executed,” Brown’s lawyer Benjamin Crump told reporters as the teenager’s grieving mother broke down in tears.

Pregnant Woman Snatched From Car, Slammed To Ground By Ferguson PD

Ferguson, MO protests have been ongoing since unarmed teen Mike Brown was gunned down by local police last Saturday. Now in interest of “keeping the peace” amid “looting and rioting” that is occurring in town, it’s reported that police are locking down areas, teargassing protesters, and some say approaching nearly all passersby with guns drawn. There are even unconfirmed rumors via social media that the police are turning guns on reporters and cameramen and forcing them out of the area as well.

One witness took to his camera phone to record a conflict between passing citizens and Ferguson police, that ended with a pregnant woman being ripped from her vehicle and slammed to the concrete, belly-first. Watch the clip for yourself:

From what we could see, the woman’s emphatic statements to the police — unarmed, from inside a car she was not driving — were met with her violent physical removal from a still-moving vehicle that was passing the police scene. Are the police going rogue and writing their own rules while these protests and “riots” occur in town?

Hi Hater: Popular Fashion Industry Publicist Blasts KimYe’s Icon Style “Their Fans Can’t Even Afford Givenchy!”

Are Kim and Kanye as iconic as they think they are??

Kelly Cutrone Says KimYe Aren’t Fashion Icons

Kanye West once said he’s as important to fashion as Apple founder Steve Jobs was to technology. But high fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone says not so fast, West.

Via NY Daily News reports:

“I don’t think there’s one person who really works in the fashion industry who gives a flying f*ck about Kanye West.

“I think they have no influence in the fashion world whatsoever. I mean, most people who watch the Kardashians’ (reality show) can’t afford Givenchy. I don’t mean to be mean. Are (counterfeiters) on Canal St. benefiting from it? Probably, but that’s not the fashion world.”

Kelly later says Kimye’s close bond with Givenchy boss Riccardo Tisci is nothing to brag about it either:

“There’s a movie called ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Givenchy is a good brand, but is it cutting edge? No. It’s a gazillion-year-old luxury brand from Europe.

The truth of the matter is that Kim Kardashian is not doing anything fresh in fashion, either. She’s not getting into the nitty-gritty, super avant-garde players. She’s not even wearing ( Vivienne ) Westwood yet.”

Cutrone, does however see the couple’s influence in today’s society:

“Have Kim and Kanye had an impact on pop culture? Absolutely. Do I think that (Vogue editor-at-large) Hamish Bowles wakes up in the morning, calls (former Vogue editor-at-large) Andre Leon Talley and says, ‘Did you see those pants that Kanye was rocking on ‘SNL’?’ No.”

Do you think Kelly is just being a hater or is she right? Does KimYe mean anything in the fashion world??
