Never get tired of watching that.
Why would addiction issues prevent one from being a "family man?"
Maybe Boomer????Will be very interesting when & if (pretty sure it will not be much of an 'if') the names of the duped 'significant investors' come out - anticipate that Carton may have scammed a few well-off athletes / retired athletes ... wonder who got suckered by this con artist
Let's be honest--after last season, which of us hasn't considered this?Considered Fleeing to Costa Rica - Changing Name.

RU4real,
That idiot really outkicked his coverage regarding his wife. She runs a clothing shop in TriBeCa. Www.ny.racked.com.
She's the chick standing on the right with her business partner.
I only see these two.RU4real,

It doesn't make sense, I doubt he's guilty.
Thanks for posting. I read the whole thing. It is entirely plausible that he was being duped by Meli, until you get to Paragraph 48. Paragraphs 48-61 are going to send him to federal prison. Not a good guy, not justifiable -- just run of the mill you are a criminal, you stole money and now you need to go to prison. 3 years I'd guess when its all said and done.
He will say he was tricked on the Meli stuff those counts seem thin as to Carton's knowledge and involvement. They never show that he knew Meli was faking the docs. Additionally, he will say he was unsophisticated, and did not realize he couldnt pay down his own debts if he intended to invest.
The main thing that stands out is how f*cked he knew he was, and how he had no plan at all for that inevitability. Once he realized it had hit the fan, he used his credit cards to try to buy whatever tickets he could, and then tried to sell them -- and failed miserably even at that. I think it does mitigate his character a little bit. He laid out every penny he could get his hands on of his own money to try to fix it -- but it was to little to late.
Maybe Boomer????
A PSU and Met Fan? uhg, but seriously, I always thought she was fair, and always enjoyed her,
I didn't think she was boring, and she and Carl Banks always worked well together.
Madoff met many of his victims at charity events. I did not like Carton's on air persona but respected what he did for charity. Now maybe his motives were not so charitable. This is speculation on my part but I wonder if he was not trolling for victims at these events ala Madoff.Don't know if this was mentioned but as a Tourettes sufferer he has raised millions for their foundation and is a highly respected guy in that community. So how do they explain that to all the people he has helped . especially the kids who make up the majority of those afflicted?You can make jokes about that but he has truly blown a tremendous amount of good will and good work to feed a different type of debilitating disease. Gambling.
No doubt.RU planning,
He's no prize or Adonis. Still believe he outkicked his coverage on that one.
Kim worked for the Yankees, but she been a Met fan all her life.[/QUOT
Well said and I hope you are right.Cicero, I am as cynical as the next guy but I believe his charity work was genuine because he suffered from the scourge of Tourettes.I am giving him the benefit of the doubt here.
The former federal prosecutor in me says you nailed it!
His disease tells him placing the bet is important to his family.I'm sorry, but a family man wouldn't be jeopardizing his family's money to begin with. JUST DONT PLACE THE BET!!!
His disease tells him placing the bet is important to his family.
And the scariest part is he believes it with all his heart. A counselor or therapist could have talked to him and convinced him he has a disease and no control, he could agree and tell you how horrible his addiction is...then 5 minutes later place a bet.
That's how insane addiction is, you are relieved of the compulsion only by the grace of God, if you think you can beat it alone, you will die or go to jail.
Cuse and philly plus scammer? This guy is a loser galore. Lol
Corzine stupidly upped the NJ state pension exposure to hedge funds during his time in office. Trying to earn his way out of the huge pension hole and failing miserably at it. Then he left to bankrupt another investment firm before retiring.
I like the Mets..............so I'm good with that. At least the Mets have something.And? The rest of the station besides Francesa are Mets homers.
Thanks for the info.. I knew trying to hit Syracuse with ownership of this Carton clown would come back to bite us.The co conspirator is s Rutgers grad and strip club exec. Nj.com already reported it.
The difference Mike never puts the Mets down if I didn't know better,I like the Mets..............so I'm good with that. At least the Mets have something.
Do you agree on the 3 year estimate? Based on what they are alleging, unless they lose their witness or something crazy happens, it seems like they are gonna nail him on the entire hedge fund deal.
Yes. With a $3M loss, he'd likely be looking at that range under the federal sentencing guidelines unless he can strike a deal to cooperate on others or something that would justify a downward departure on sentencing.
My prediction is Carton makes a plea deal, serves some time and then goes on the lecture circuit and writes a book.
You can hear it now - "what's the problem - I had gobs of Barbara Streisand tickets in my possession that I was trying to sell - exactly as I agreed. It's not my fault no one likes Barbara Streisand anymore.".... and will slowly at first - but with increasing intensity - relentlessly cast this all as a situation that he was drawn into via evil misleading individuals - and got trapped in because of the piles of money ... the ass that is lightening quick to judge others - will for the rest of his life be singing a shrill song entitled "The fault wasn't really mine ... you must believe my whine"
Which goes to show that former conference rivals can get along.The co conspirator is s Rutgers grad and strip club exec. Nj.com already reported it.
