The poor guy doesn’t know which way is up.

He’s gone ‘round the bend.

Tonight he tells us that since (he assumes!) Tangerine hasn’t (yet) fenced/sold any of the secrets he stole… there was no crime.

Damn, John.

Possession is a felony here.

And likely, “the payoff” went to / through Jared, who likely showed the secrets to certain Mideast interests, in exchange for ~$2 billion in funding / lending.

But let’s assume Hinderaker can prove the thefts were not financial, at all — and purely… egotistical in nature.

I don’t really recall Madoff being released without charges… when he stole from tons of charitable endowments… to be the biggest mench in every ballroom in Manhattan.

Nope. I recall… he died in jail.

Take heed, senile old John. Take… heed.

Out.
