No names and blurred faces. Ridiculous.

“”the men took Polaroid photographs””

POLAROID? Technology ignorant?

Cryptocurrency investor John Woeltz was taken into custody and hit with a slew of charges Friday night.

Weeks!!

Two to three weeks in actual time, but the Post makes it sound like forever.

At least they didn’t make him watch The View.

A few years ago something like this happened but since there was a woman involve some people claimed that they "didn't buy it" and it was all consensual.

Wonder if they will claim that in this case as well.

I’d give him ten extra years for those ghetto shower shoes.

When you are getting tortured daily, two weeks can feel like forever.

[shadeaud]

Is the joint available for rent?

[Pikachu_Dad]

Your diabolical ! The View?

Nobody can withstand that torture.

[Honorary Serb]

The crypto world is full of gangsters!

[Beowulf9]

Why the heck are they calling these guys ‘the crypto bros’ ? Is that their logo or something? It’s on all their shirts?

There is NOTHING worse and I mean NOTHING WORSE than being forced to watching The Spew

[piasa]

I don’t understand why no one is named.

Very weird.

Do they have some sort of diplomatic cover or what?

Indeed. Even if I were faced with Lawrence Olivier brandishing a dental drill at me, my response would be "Pfft. Is that all you've got?"

It should be against The Geneva Convention, along with the LeRoy Neiman paintings.
