"Perpetual Motion DeLorean" Scammers Face $26M Judgment
An anonymous reader writes "Back in 2002, we discussed a story about the so-called 'Perpetual Motion DeLorean,' which could 'supposedly go "hundreds of miles" at speeds over 100MPH without stopping to recharge.' More than seven years later, the final shoe has dropped on this saga, with a $26 million judgment against Carl Tilley and his wife, who propagated this scam that ran for several years. Probably the height of its audacity was when Tilley told his shareholders in May of 2002 that GE had offered $2 billion 'sight unseen' to buy out the technology."
Yeah i mean rape victims are looking for it!
O'Reilly law?
..."hundreds of miles" at speeds over 100MPH without stopping to recharge.'...
I guess you went to a public school.

Err, if you get right down to the bottom of it, this is in fact the core principle of Capitalism, i.e. impoverishment of "fools" (i.e. people unable or unwilling to adjust to become sufficiently effective savages towards all around them) and rewarding of "smart" people (i.e. those who are all too willing to take advantage of everyone else around them) by whatever means they can get away with. The difference between a "criminal" and a "successful businessman" is largely a very subjective one.
For example, while most "legitimate" businesses produce a product, say a car, they also engage in advantage taking of all around them in order to survive, they pay as little as they can get away with to their employees, they studiously ignore social and environmental impact of their products, they go to extreme measures to "manage cost versus risk" by deliberately exposing their dupes ... I mean "customers" to possibility of flaming death in order to increase loot etc and so on.
"H1B is a scam? I believe in open immigration. Unless we can prove you are a criminal, we should let you in. Where you were born is random chance, so it hardly seems fair for me to hoard the benefits of living in the USA."
You CRETIN. Moron. Asshole. Braindead idiot.
"the benefits of living in the USA".
So you are actually saying that it's the LAND MASS of the USA that affords its people their intelligence? And nothing to do with RACE?
You are seriously saying that if you swapped the population of the most white state in the USA with the population of Haiti, that the Haitians would magically become as productive, law abiding and intelligent as the whites they replaced, BECAUSE OF THE LAND MASS.
Asshole. Go and live in Haiti if you're so convinced that "we're all the same". Your country is being destroyed right in front of your eyes, and assholes like you actually defend this.
Why aren't white people allowed to have their own countries any more?
