Newsday: John Spano Arrested

[Bunk Moreland]

Up to his old tricks:

Spano, 50, of Madison, Ohio, was arrested Aug. 21 and pleaded not guilty to accusations that he forged dozens of contracts and pocketed the commissions over a two-year period while working as a medical supplies salesman for an Ohio-based company.

It goes on to say he stole somewhere between $7,500-$150,000 which seems like a ridiculously broad range..

He was trying to raise funds so that he could be included in the recent purchase of our team.

Really sad to think that we've had worse owners than John.

Without Spano getting that deal with Sports Channel or MSG or whatever it was back then, odds are the isles no longer exist.

Exactly. Plus he was a definite improvement over the Gang of Four.

I would like to spend one minute in that head of his.

For many people legal money is really boring compared to illegall money. No rush involved in legal.

 

[ScaredStreit]

Spano's a really bad scam artist.

Being John Malkovich?

Being John Spano.

I want to be in Spano's head. I bet Malkovich would too!

Wow...he sucks at not getting caught

Some people are just good at being stupid and brain-dead.

Once a felon, always a felon. You have to admire the nerve of the guy. He billed sales that never existed to collect a commission check. Uh, yeah, you really think that fake sales are going to sneak by a high school educated bookkeeper.

What a ****** human being.
