i do not understand this at all. this former speaker of the house is going to jail. not for abusing the kid, but for taking too much of his own money out of the bank. and now the former victim is suing him for the rest of the blackmail money he didn't get! i think i might've went crazy

I didn't know there was a statute of limitations on sex crimes. Those banking laws are there so the feds can keep an eye out if anything shady is going on. Since they can't get him for schtupping young boys, they'll probably use the banking laws to get him the way the feds used tax laws to get Capone.

I can't believe that guy is suing for the rest of his blackmail money. That's ballsy. That's like calling the cops because your dealer sold you oregano.

Here in Portland a woman is suing the city because she broke her ankle in a pothole on a city street. I hope she wins because the city won't fix the streets claiming they have no money yet they somehow have money for new city busses and giving themselves raises.
