  • marleymar, on 02/10/2009, -2/+50"The candy company became suspicious, contacted the school and was told by detectives to send an empty box

    One empty box?! He ordered $37,000 worth!

  • Danby123, on 02/11/2009, -0/+41At least he could have ordered $37,000 of bacon.
  • orithidon, on 02/10/2009, -2/+39Lollipops? That sucks..
  • oboshoe, on 02/11/2009, -0/+28In about 10 years, he'll be making millions as a hedge fund manager.

  • Zippo, on 02/10/2009, -3/+28should have used a proxy or seven.
  • AmyVernon, on 02/10/2009, -0/+22I love the random Oprah pic that shows up with Yahoo! stories.
  • Rolcol, on 02/11/2009, -0/+22He also screwed up by having the candy be delivered to his home. Always use your worst enemy's address.
  • kingbinji, on 02/11/2009, -2/+23you'd think at 18 years old, he'd try and order some cooler *****
  • yurishoujo, on 02/11/2009, -0/+20I don't think the point was so much as he wanted 37k worth of candy, but wanted to stick the school with a bill, and the fact that it was candy would've made it all that more lol-worthy.

    I mean seriously, could you imagine if that hard worked how looking over the budget would've went?

    "50,000 for sports, 200,000 for building maintenance, 37,000 for... WHAT THE HELL?"
  • Duffle, on 02/11/2009, -1/+21Dude, it's ***** candy. Everyone loves candy.
  • iamstudip, on 02/10/2009, -2/+19Get in the van, I have candy.
  • michaelhood, on 02/11/2009, -0/+15I'm thinking he failed pretty hard when he decided to actually have the candy shipped to his house. It would have been much funnier and more of a "prank" if he had sent the package to a soup kitchen. He probably also wouldn't have been caught, then.
  • martrinex, on 02/11/2009, -0/+15maybe he did, and his worst enemy is the one who got arrested
  • inactive, on 02/11/2009, -0/+13I bet he was planning of redistributing the candy among the student body. A modern day Robin Hood.
  • zacharytelschow, on 02/10/2009, -2/+15Inflation, my friend.
  • maxstep, on 02/11/2009, -2/+14Over 9000 lolipops I bet.

  • CpAmerica8, on 02/11/2009, -0/+11He was going to charge his middle school with the dental bills.
  • cookingboy, on 02/11/2009, -0/+11yeah yeah..hold on, you PAY for PORN?
  • AmyVernon, on 02/10/2009, -0/+11Really? What ever made them suspicious?
  • lewystud, on 02/11/2009, -0/+9genius - too bad he wasn't sweet enough to get away with it
  • floort, on 02/10/2009, -5/+14Maybe it was 'nose' candy. :) Wait! Can you get that online?
  • statuescrumble, on 02/11/2009, -0/+9Too bad his plan quickly went sour
  • DeathToaster, on 02/11/2009, -1/+9They get you on the shipping.
  • DaftMonk, on 02/11/2009, -0/+7I want candy, bubble gum, and taffy

  • Chris_F, on 02/11/2009, -0/+5Wanted to have $37,000 worth of stolen goods delivered to his house. What a freaking moron. Maybe he should look up the meaning of class 2 felony. No matter, he's going to get a crash course.
