a federal jury found him guilty on all counts; he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. it's a matter of *fact* that he is guilty of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit, and conspiracy to commit money laundering

"posting the statement your drafted for your manager about how great and blameless you are but the manager declined to put out"; impeccable stuff; he's a raumdeuter for new pathologies of self-involvement 🐐🐐🐐🐐

just want to highlight the talking points here again, they're amazing again, this is Ronaldo's instagram essay, his recitation of the talking points he gave to his coach, shared with the intention of making Ronaldo look like the good guy it's incredible

The notes I had approved were as follows:

‘I think it is important, because it is the truth, to clarify a few things before talking about Denmark:

I myself, and no one else, proposed a plan to Cristiano for this season with the national team. It was a long and very good conversation.

I know how much he lives and breathes the national team and the stature he has in the world — and, even more importantly, the weight and positive influence he has had on the national team for 24 consecutive years.

Cristiano accepted the plan I proposed to him.

He never questioned my decisions. He was exemplary, loyal and professional.

The plan I laid out for him did not include the Norway match. However, I felt that he had managed to recover physically from the first match and told him that I might need to use him. Cristiano agreed.

I made a mistake by asking someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona to warm up and then not putting him into the game. If it happened today, I would not do it.

To bring the matter to an end: I want Cristiano in the national team. In fact, I do not just want him a little; I want him very much. Fortunately, he also believes in me. He believed in me at Al Nassr and he does here as well.

As for not greeting the supporters: we have already spoken about it. Someone who has played more than 230 matches for the national team does not need lessons from me about loving Portugal. It was a moment of frustration that erases nothing. He is the player who signs the most autographs, takes the most selfies and gives the most affection to the supporters. Let us not invent problems where none exist. When we are unhappy, we react. That is all.’

so a bunch of the traditional environmental groups held a call to strategize against the permitting bill -- notably in which they acknowledged its net emissions effects but still were dead set in opposition -- and someone on the call leaked the whole transcript punchbowl.news/wp-content/u...

there's actually an interesting piece to be written about how it's not just the 2000 election that has tarnished Ralph Nader's legacy or "made him responsible for where we are now" etc etc but rather that his consumer focused, litigious and fundamentally NIMBY outlook was deeply misguided

Massively underrated aspect of this is that it cannot be confined to the years of the breaches themselves — because *revenue* was faked and rules restrict spending (broadly) relative to revenue, if you fake it for even just a year, the impact compounds and cascades across all future years

All the talk is about Man City circumventing football's financial fair play rules but this description suggests another word beginning with F. www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727...

The purpose of these schemes was found to have been to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900 million during the affected period, to appear to comply with financial rules. The consequence of this, as the Commission found, was that the club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators. The Commission concluded that ‘by its conduct the club clearly intended to circumvent the PL Rules‘.
