Finally. A white male gets prosecuted for white collar crime.

[The Backlash Cometh]

You have to follow the link to see the picture. And, what's going to make you sick, is that the guy's a millionaire.

A Michigan dentist in town for his son's baseball game was arrested late Saturday on credit-card theft and forgery charges after Polk County deputy sheriffs said he stole a college student's credit card and used it to buy pizza.

Richard Lewis Ludwig, 54, of Okemos, Mich., also faces charges of impersonating and attempting to use the ID of another person without consent.

Polk County deputy sheriffs arrested Ludwig after finding him at the restaurant waiting for his order. They said Ludwig admitted to finding Majeed's credit card in the parking lot, ordering two large pizzas with extra olives and using Majeed's card to pay the $40.64 bill. Ludwig had $250 in cash in his wallet at the time of his arrest, deputies said.

When asked if he was having financial problems, the sheriff's office said, Ludwig laughed and said "absolutely not." He told deputies his net worth was between $3 million and $4 million.

Small time player. They are still subject to "Rule of Law"

However, if you are a Wall St. banker it's still open season.

3. I agree. When it involves a large network of professionals, our criminal

justice system is not equipped to handle the problem.

17. Strangely enough I believe even Gates or one of the Kochs would...

...face charges if they pulled a stunt like this petter.

There are standards to be considered when bleeding the suckers dry.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. That's bizarre.

The guy had $250 in cash in his pocket, claims a net worth of over 3 million bucks, but used a college student's lost credit card to charge $40 worth of pizza?

What gets into people?

[The Backlash Cometh]

2. The man has no conscience.

I'm inclined to believe that he reacted when he saw the ethnic name.

12. A sociopathic type. We have lots of them in America. n/t

[joshcryer]

5. They do it for kicks.

"Oh cool here's some kids credit card, wouldn't it be funny to fuck 'em over?"

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

4. Mental problems? Drinking? Drugs? Asshole!

[The Backlash Cometh]

6. Asshole. Most definitely.

What a role model he must be to his son and team.

7. Actually, a bunch of white males have been prosecuted in the past

couple of years for that. Here in Minnesota, there are two prominent ones. One of them is about to be sentenced - Denny Hecker. You haven't heard of him, perhaps, but he's going to die in prison for his crimes. Your story is far from unique.

9. Good for Minnesota.

When it happens in Florida, it becomes news. The guy's major flaw is probably that he's not a Floridian.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Denny Hecker and Tom Petters. Real gems, those two.

Not to mention Trevor Cook and Pat Kiley, who used a "Christian" radio station as a means to defraud gullible investors. http://money.cnn.com/2010/07/26/news/cook_fraud/index.htm

[MineralMan]

16. Ah, yes, Pat Kiley and Trevor Cook. It wasn't actually a

Christian station. It was KSTP AM-1500, which is now an ESPN sports radio outlet. Kiley used to do a Sunday Morning show. I heard it several times, and always thought, "WTF!" when I heard it. Paid content. Bogus on its face, and Kiley was just plain nuts.

Kiley has never been charged.

Hecker and Petters, though...what a couple of morans. Off they go to the Federal slammer. Hecker looks like he's already near death. He will not survive his 10-year sentence. Petters? I don't know about him. Creep, though.

8. Anti-dentite bastards!...

(it's a Seinfeld joke)

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. It would be, wouldn't it?

LOL!

[eleny]

13. What Mike Malloy said about the Koch brothers policies...

"They do it for sport."

I find similarities here.

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. Yes. I see the parallel.

[Skittles]

14. definitely a republican
