This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Use of past tense noted.

He wasn't smart enough not to get involved in a Ponzi scheme.

I liked him deciding to be a good Jew about it and come clean. If he
hadn't, you know, they'd have put him in white collar prison and we would
be hearing about the sad accident that happened to him one day. Now he
gets to go to real prison with the blackamoors and be a tough Jew, the
brothers will get a kick out of it. He will give them financial advice,
and I bet you it will be some better than the financial advice he has been
giving out up until this point. He plays his cards right he should do some
pretty reasonable time, as these things go.
