This fucker UH OH SKETTI-O SOMEBODY IS IN TROUBLE AGAIN. Even more trouble, actually: Federal securities regulators filed civil fraud charges Monday against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over recruiting investors to a high-tech startup before becoming the state's top prosecutor.
Seconding that. I'm normally fair to notable people getting caught making unflattering faces, but damn. That creepy expression (which he also makes in the Reuters article) is up there with Ted "Stranger-Danger" Cruz.
to be fair, wealthy investors are not monolithic, many are decent people who are simply successful. Besides, that investment capital is a necessary part of our economic growth, it's the grease for the wheels to drive job creation. Granted, there are numerous examples of it being out of control (see Silicon Valley raining money on every dumb app that comes along), but ripping off investors hurts us all, at least indirectly. Throw this bum in jail...
As many people have said in the various discussions I've had and read, do these supposedly grown-ass men not know that ladies rooms have stalls? And, even if some guy walks into a locker room in which women are walking around with no clothes on, he's going to be seriously disappointed, because most of the nekkid ladies he'll see do not look like supermodels. I really think they're all "O noes!!! Men will be sneaking into ladies bathrooms and locker rooms!!" because they still have the mentality of a 14 year old boy.
I agree, but I still don't have as much sympathy for defrauded rich investors as I would if the victims were middle-class, or elderly and poor. Rich investors know the risks and can recover more easily and faster from rip-offs.
With a potential sentence of 5-99, how many nights you think he'll spend in jail? I wager none of them Katie.
Another post with no gratuitous references to genitalia, sex acts or bodily fluids? C'mon, Evan, you've got a reputation to uphold.
Fluke! As in, "It's a Fluke if you get the same reading twice!"
Some jokes don't survive leaving the lab...
Even so, how long until he moves on to swindling not-so-rich investors?

That's called Being A Capitalist. It is not a criminal offense.
Too bad he can't go to real, live, actual jail for that.
Whadda ya mean, for some?

I thought she was a retiring fuckbag, but still in office
Upvoted for "stone jive-ass turkeys."
I think Ken is doing remarkably well for a guy who faked his death and is hiding out in Brazil (I'm assuming.)
Prison rape joke, ten-yard penalty, GTFO.
We can't even spell.FTFY
