    • Gizza, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30Just how much money? No one knows?
      $63 zillion? $63,000,000,000 zillion? $63,000,000,000 billion? $63 billion?
      • ToadLeg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Would that be "$63,000,000,000 billion dollars", or $$63,000,000,000,000,000,000, or sixty-three quintillion...uh...$^2...what is a dollar squared? A dollar squared must be a lot of money. Maybe about a $zillion?
      • mydigga, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Just shut up and drop the $$ by the Williamsburg Federal Correctional Facility. That ***** better be backed by gold and silver too.
    • vptel, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14how about 5 bucks and we call it even?
    • Fairly, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2YEAH and with the corrupt legal system in the US he'll probably get it too.
    • lazyrussian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+50Before I even clicked on this digg-post, I thought this was anther Onion article.
      • WiseWeasel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I thought the same thing after reading it... Is Fox News doing satire now? This article just doesn't seem for real...
      • yosempai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I actually heard about this on a classic rock radio station. I started to believe it, but then after I heard the Al-Qaeda part I dismissed the report as fake.
    • davdev, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Fox News, same thing.
    • ChadUSofA, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"to purchase missles from the Iran government"

      "Missles" LOL
    • keyboardduder, on 10/10/2007, -12/+2 Did anyone here know that if theres another terrorist attack on the US, bush can take complete control of the country and declare martial law?

      Did you know that if you are even suspected of being a "terrorist" they can lock you up and you can never be heard from again? NO TRIAL, NO QUESTIONS, NO RIGHTS.

      Did you know that people who are wrongfully accused of being terrorists are outsourced overseas so they can be tortured?

      Did you know that instead of giving the US military sufficient gear and backup, the Bush administration employs a secret militia/mercenary group known as BLACKWATER that is paid more, is supplied better, and who has more knowledge-per-soldier than US marines? And Guess what? Theres more Blackwater in Iraq then there are marines!

      Did you also know that Bush is making laws which make him more powerful all the time? Every day we are reminded that freedom isn't free, that it comes with sacrifices, but those sacrifices shouldn't be our rights. Now the government can spy on anything we do without any problem. No warrant, nothing.

      It is now officially illegal to protest the Iraq war. What the hell is that? If I wear a "pull out of Iraq" shirt, the government can freeze my assets and arrest me.

      The Bill of rights is being raped by this power-hungry administration and its has to stop. The whole country cant get this kind of info from the regular news because they work for the government too.

      Big business and the government now work side by side, pissing on the people who support them. After all, the troops in iraq need food, entertainment, shelter, all kinds of things you cna get from many American companies! Profits must be pretty good for a few companies. (by a few i mean a lot) Halliburton's stock has tripled in value.

      Big oil has gotten tax cuts, has gotten oil drilling deals in Iraq, millions upon millions of dollars IN CASH has gone missing from convoys in the middle east, Hundreds of thousands of guns have been lost in Iraq, and now are being used to shoot the brave soldiers who are trying to protect freedom.

      Bush has fired, exposed and slighted people who have tried to get in his way and he pardons all of his buddies who are going to be in trouble with the law.

      Bush has brought the country into the worst national debt in history. He has borrowed 1.5 TRILLION DOLLARS from other nations, including china and from private banks, and guess who has to pay for it?

      The stand-by citizens of the USA right?
      WRONG.

      On September 11th, 2007, a GENERAL STRIKE IS ANNOUNCED, TAKE OFF WORK, DON'T DO TO SCHOOL, GO TO THE STREETS, GO TO YOUR LOCAL REP. OR CONGRESSMAN AND MAKE YOURSELF BE HEARD.

      And what am I doing? I'm going to Washington-*****-DC to show that spineless congress and that bastard president who can and who cant protest about Iraq! China can almost bankrupt this country with one decision. The US dollar could fail, and the country will be in a new, great depression. We need to put a stop to the spending and the ***** now.

        Best news I've seen all day. I hope Vick loses that "63,000,000,000 Billion dollars" to this guy.
      • Cyphase, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Same here. I thought it was an Onion article, especially because of "zillion".
        • IEatHamburgers, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Yeah but in the article it says "billion" not "zillion"
          • bobbyi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The article says "63,000,000,000 billion". The digg headline says "63 zillion".
        • snea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10The article, and the hand-written filing both say "$63,000,000,000 billion dollars" which I guess would be $63,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 63 quintillion as someone else mentioned. It might as well be a zillion because even on Vick's salary it will take about 8 billion years to pay Mr. Richards that amount.
    • felman87, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19I didn't believe it till I double-checked it on the main site. It's there. Holy *****!

        Sir, one million dollars isn't much money anymore.

        Ok then, I want SIXTY-THREE BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!
        • alibenx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0dude, it was 63 billion billion, which is obviously 63 zillion.

    • Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2I started reading that note, and I didn't even have to look at the words - I recognize that handwriting. An old (former) friend of mine has handwriting *exactly* like that. And yes, he had grandiose conspiracy delusions, too.

      well, i guess that's fairly reasonable.
    • Mizzike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2gotta admit: for an inmate, this is almost... *almost* pretty well written... if he wrote it in pen.
  • jtbndy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+72wtf is microwave testing
    • scalebane, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27You gotta love the way he didn't bother to explain that one any further.
    • mushoo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16And the little heart on the i in testing.
    • Fairly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Everybody knows what microwave testing is. It tests the strength and stamina of pitt bulls.
    • dfeifer, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1Of course there is also the microwave testing that the Germans did to holocaust victims. Basically trying to use microwaves to serialize them and keeping them to reproduce. This ended up with a fairly large mortality rate, so they dropped this and just went straight to the end result.
      • esbern1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12way to take all of the funny out of this entire thread
      • bethehammer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Microwave testing - no need to justify that remark cause Vick stole another mans identity and used it to buy dog food while he was using drugs in a school zone. Obviously Vick needs to pay the 63,000,000,000.00 billion (translated: 63,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00) dollars backed by gold and silver and have UPS deliver it to the poor plaintiffs home in prison.

      • thelizardreborn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5But then he calls it the "United States Parcel Service" ... which it isn't.
    • actionmann50, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9He wants it backed by gold and silver because he's the prison inmate version of Ron Paul

      • miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's a joke pertaining a story about inmates that copyrighted their names then sued the warden for using them.
    • miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ooops-me bad. He has a little copyright next to his name. The plantif's own letter is much funnier.
  • onyxraven1979, on 10/10/2007, -8/+68Since this waste of taxpayers money and of air in general wrote "63,000,000,000.00 Billion", I wonder if this braindead realizes that comes out to 63 quintillion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintillion) if my math skills hold up.
    Here is a link to a .pdf of the masterpiece. http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/riches_jonathan_file.pdf

      LOL.... the money is to be delivered via UPS to his prison
    • eatsleeptrumpet, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10i like zillion better... rolls off the tongue really easily - "63 ZILLION dollars please.yes, just leave it at the front gate"

      Now that has GOT to be a lot of money.

  • PhoenixAvatar2, on 10/10/2007, -3/+95I thought it was going to be the Onion, but no. It's fox news.
    • FK0123, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Well, they are both fiction. Just one of them is usually funnier than the other.
  • jtorkbob, on 10/10/2007, -25/+16Zillion != Billion. Was it not funny enough for you, sub? You had to sweeten it up?
    • JesperL, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Too be fair, "zillion" is an extremely vague term.
    • daizaru, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6To be fair, 63,000,000,000.00 Billion != 63 Billion either. I found it pretty funny that's how they wrote it in the article. I guess to parody the way it was in the lawsuit. That makes it, a "quintillion?" dollars? Zillion does kind of sweeten it up.
    • Fairly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Oh this is worth debating. Nothing like killing a good laugh for everyone.
    • krebcycle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Incorrect

      if ((NotStupidRich) || (Am8YearsOld)) { zillion == billion; } else { zillion == gazillion; }

      If you need further clarification let me know. I can make a wikipedia article if it will help.

      • hobbers, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Actually, if you read the lawsuit it is stated as "$63,000,000,000.00 Billion". Hence the quotes in the Fox article.

  • thinman1189, on 10/10/2007, -13/+7What the *****? Did Fox News finally realize it would get more viewers if it proclaimed itself the next onion?
    • jcm267, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Unlike what you see on The Onion, this is real.
  • schmons, on 10/10/2007, -11/+6dr. evil, is that you?
  • mayorjimmy, on 10/10/2007, -15/+9Here's the plan. we get sent to prison and sue Michael Vick for...... one...hundred...BILLION.. dollars!!!!!

    seriously though, is there anyone who would object to instead of wasting taxpayer time and money humoring this jerkoff just dragging him into solitary and beating him with a wet rubber hose for a couple hours? i highly doubt this will be society's loss if this guy just drops off the face of the earth.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2or.. one hundred billion BILLION dollars!
    • Lyph5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3"is there anyone who would object to instead of wasting taxpayer time and money humoring this jerkoff just dragging him into solitary and beating him with a wet rubber hose for a couple hours?"

      Any good person, I'd hope. There are rules about "Cruel and Unusual" punishments, and I think beating him with a hose for a couple of hours falls under that category.

      Swoooooooosh! Dun nun nun~ nee nee nEE! nee nee nEE!
    • kinneas666, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1michael vick or riches with a hose?
  • impossibility, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2I laughed out loud.
    My god, I love fox news. Any by love, I mean.. "how are they even called news?"
    • mayorjimmy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5wait a sec, you're saying that like this is Fox news' fault. they're just reporting news. I'm willing to bet this shows up on ESPN later on.
  • rivalius13, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2Finally the truth is out!
  • icpeanuts, on 10/10/2007, -12/+2FOXNEWS is NOT news. wake up man.
    • dan.stryker, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Along with the others as well...
  • max1574, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34***** that was the best story all month
  • agentSA, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1I cant believe i just read that...
  • shadedred, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10apparently Michael Vick hired "robotic guards" at the prison too....

    • mwrl, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2At least someone knows where this story appeared from. Too many programed people on digg. "Must hate Fox News for it speaks against socialism!"
    • jedicurt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1and threw snowballs at his car
  • grenden, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2I think a foxnews webmaster is playing a joke on unwitting readers. I had to double check the source to make sure it wasn't the onion...as most diggers, I've noticed. I'm thinking this is a hoax. But it is funny.
  • shadedred, on 10/10/2007, -9/+5oh.. and Vick also threw snowballs at the plaintiff's car...
  • rglover, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Please, let this guy be right. That would be ***** HILARIOUS.
  • CourtesyFlush, on 10/10/2007, -8/+4Crap.

    I was gonna sue him.

    Now he'll be broke.
  • cuoops, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39My jaw dropped when I hovered over the link and it wasn't The Onion.
  • blindcydeee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14See, even prisoners know the way to grab the headlines is to mention 'Al Quaeda.'
    • Coolone84, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1As far as fox news is concerned....
  • jimbof3, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5What a great use of all the free time this guy has in jail...Take a good look at the PDF...63,000,000,000 Billion dollars. That's not
    $63 Billion.
  • rmeddy, on 10/10/2007, -10/+8I swear it was the onion then I saw its a less credible source of information.
  • Abomonog, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24In other headlines today. Fox News is sued by "The Onion" for copyright infringement. :)
  • spambutcher, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10"63,000,000,000.00 Billion dollars backed by gold and silver"

    This guys crazy! Everyone knows that the dollar hasn't been backed by precious metals in over 70 years!

    is it me - or is the "i" in "testing" on the fourth page dotted with a heart?
    • Lyph5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1He's not crazy, he wants the money IN gold and silver.
      • mistermoxy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say, yes. He's still crazy.
    • matador3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Enter Ron Paul
    • EricAnderton, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The line after that is what really what brings it all together: "Riches is an inmate at the facility serving out a wire fraud conviction."

      Gee, you'd think he'd realize that he's not very good at this stuff.
  • mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -8/+5OK.. I have to say that this is hilarious. I can hardly believe what I'm reading.. this is like an implosion of stupidity on Vick's part, the inmate's part and Fox News' part. It's like a threesome orgy of moronic proportions.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1OK, maybe it wasn't fox news' fault. I thought they screwed up the dollar amount, but they were just quoting what Riches wrote in his suit.
      • gingerbreadcat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The problem is that Fox is reporting this as real news, probably just because the guy mentioned Al Qaeda. So following that logic, if some crazy homeless guy sues the Pope for 60 kajillion dollars and alleged abuse by his evil reptilian cohorts AND his kidnapping of Elvis, that automatically makes it news? Crazy people do crazy stuff every day, by definition.
  • ButterBuddha, on 10/10/2007, -10/+3"We Report You Decide" *****....
  • UrlorJkron, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4So... Insanity plea?
  • bluezinc, on 10/10/2007, -6/+7He's in the NFL, that's pocket change to those guys.
  • Agger, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0Foxnews....
  • heystoopid, on 10/10/2007, -12/+1All this from the home of the least credible news service known to man !

    The polite expression is , can I have what ever substance the reporter is smoking , snorting drinking too please!
    • bitspace, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Except that for once, the Fox News reporter isn't making it up.
      • twinklyJesus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Yeah, but that's no reason to stop bashing, now is it?
  • UnrealsKY, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I don't even really know what to say.

    The handwritten complaint is priceless. Apparently "On Feb 10th 2007, MICHAEL VICK plead allegiance to Al-qaeda." ...oh my... pleading allegiance.

    But honestly, how much better would it be if this was all true. Michael Vick, secret terrorist spy for Al-qaeda. Now that's priceless. Picked a real winner there.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4No no, it says "plead alliengence" to al-qaeda.

      Who knows what that means..
  • darthjure, on 10/10/2007, -3/+48Here's the real headline:

    "South Carolina Inmate Discovers Just How Easy It Is To Become a Fox News Headline"
  • lordmutt, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1How 25 Americans believe fox let alone 25% of you boggles the mind
  • thebigsix, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1This sounds like a story the Fixed News channel would report on...
  • mushoo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I just found my new pen-pal.
