  • pldgnoauthority, on 05/01/2008, -12/+696You really have to wonder whats going through someone's head when they think that they can cash a 360 billion dollar check without drawing attention.
  • inactive, on 05/01/2008, -96/+724hes got to be the stupidest African American gentlemen in Texas.
  • EclipseGSX, on 05/01/2008, -6/+565Attempting to pass a check for roughly the GDP of Austria. Wow -- that's just a whole new level of stupid.
  • BornWithRage, on 05/01/2008, -9/+472I'd say his stupidity goes above and beyond race, gender, and location.
  • lpxxfaintxx2, on 05/01/2008, -30/+465Hey, at least he's not the first one to try. There's another retard that's been doing the same thing for 8 years now!
  • pintomp3, on 05/01/2008, -81/+440how much is that? like $36 euros?
  • PoopsMcG, on 05/01/2008, -4/+332"I only write him a check for $360,000,000. He must have added those extra zeros."
    Seriously, how can you fit that large of a number on a check. Was it one of those giant Publisher's Clearing House checks?
  • 30thElement, on 05/01/2008, -4/+322I dugg you, and then I realized you said "36 dollar euros".
  • plizard, on 05/01/2008, -34/+320he wasn't born in africa so he isn't an africa american and referring to him as a gentlemen is a stretch.
  • brosner, on 05/01/2008, -9/+244Some people.... just... dont... get it
  • rodon, on 05/01/2008, -7/+220He should have made it out for $359,999,999,999.95. $360,000,000,000 just sounds a little too suspicious to an average bank teller.
  • BXRWXR, on 05/01/2008, -2/+208Why only $360 B?

    If you're going to do it, you might as well go all out.
  • markp93, on 05/01/2008, -8/+193Maybe he was from Zimbabwe, and it was really only worth a dollar or something?
  • bphicke, on 05/01/2008, -10/+195I didn't know you had to be black to be from Africa.
  • jordanmerle, on 05/01/2008, -1/+176He also looks to be the sleepiest man in the world.
  • follower64, on 05/01/2008, -3/+168When he was arrested, he had 2 oz of weed. I'm guessin he started the day with 10 oz, smoked 8, then got this idea.
  • sasan1, on 05/01/2008, -8/+145wow, I knew that things were tough, but....
  • po43292, on 05/01/2008, -3/+131Why go for billions when you can have...millions?!
  • getbusylivin, on 05/01/2008, -0/+128Amount: Earth
  • panteradactyl, on 05/01/2008, -4/+122Crack will make you do some dumb *****
  • normlsparky, on 05/01/2008, -3/+119he would have had a much better chance of getting it cashed if he had been from saudi arabia instead of texas.
  • kipmartin, on 05/01/2008, -3/+116he certainly looks like a record exec.
  • inactive, on 05/01/2008, -1/+102hahaha this reminds me of Tron from dave chappelle..
    News Reporter: So, what do you plan to spend your money on.
    Tron: I'm going to re-invest it in the community.
    News Reporter: Well, that's...
    Tron: Psyche. I'm gonna spend it before y'all honkies change yo minds.
  • markp93, on 05/01/2008, -6/+103i'm rich beatch!
  • DreKor, on 05/01/2008, -2/+97Or maybe from Nigeria, and he's come to deposit a deposed prince's fortune. Just like he promised in that email he sent.
  • dkrich, on 05/01/2008, -0/+84What kind of record company was he trying to start with $300 billion? Maybe the first record company on Mars? If you have $300 billion, isn't going into any kind of business sorta moot?
  • jtown, on 05/01/2008, -3/+86It only needs to work once...
  • battye, on 05/01/2008, -5/+86Nope, that was this morning. $360b is only worth a few cents now.
  • Surferess, on 05/01/2008, -1/+79Now that is a heckuva mug shot. His mom must be so proud!
  • DominicUK, on 05/01/2008, -3/+80It's a very peculiar thing, the term 'African American'. Stupid, you could say. I know Americans do it to avoid calling someone black, but when did that become a term of abuse? They still call people white.
    To European ears it's a nonsense, plus it leads to absurd situations. An American colleague of mine was at a loss as to what to call a black guy in London and ended-up calling him 'African American British'. How we laughed.
  • nvisn, on 05/01/2008, -21/+94Epic Fail

    Cut it with the politically correct *****. *****.
  • neolarthytep, on 05/01/2008, -6/+74Imagine if they had cashed it. How big would the rims be on his caddy then? Oye
  • inactive, on 05/01/2008, -5/+72He can call himself whatever he wants, but I'm not going to call him "African American" no more than he's going to call me "European American."
  • oxdeltaxo, on 05/01/2008, -0/+67Never mind drawing attention, what kinda of bank has 360 bil in cash?
  • RioDJNarrow, on 05/01/2008, -2/+68He was just a front for Mr. Macintosh who is suspected of being involved in a underhanded money laundering scheme.
  • uriman, on 05/01/2008, -7/+72it seemed like a good idea when I was high...
