Battery pack would be out by then, so no money left for 24"s

In 2023, I am sure the third owner of a 2013 Model S will just have the guy that put 24"s on it for him install them.

“when Geduev lifted Burroughs into the air and was awarded points for a takedown.”

Did he file a false police report? I thought the whole shitstorm hit because Lochte opened his mouth in an interview, not because any of them reported the matter to the police. And I didn’t think the vandalism charge came to light until after the judge ordered their passports seized, but I could be wrong.

First, I’d like to see a little more evidence of the jackassery beyond “the Rio police said so.” As others have noted, the surveillance video released thus far doesn’t actually show any vandalism.

It doesn't just sound like it, that is a literal factual breakdown of what is happening. The only question is the extent to which the extortion will receive the criticism it deserves.

there are timestamps on all the videos. and several minutes are missing. and there is little to no footage on that tape that shows any vandalism or fighting. it shows them walking out of a bathroom, getting into a car, sitting on the ground holding their hands up, and Lochte stands up. Brazil police admit the security…

exactly, this has been some masterful PR by the Brazilian government with a willing media. Have multiple olympians and visitors get robbed during the games, find the one that exaggerated, lied about it to the media, make a huge media deal out of it and arrest them, no one remembers all the other robberies. the $11,000…

Because we all know that charities are paragons of virtue and never just slush funds.

Brazilian officials are saying this Olympics is proving better for the economy than expected.

I am certain that no Brazilian would be fined anywhere near that amount for this offense. Make no mistake, this is a shakedown.

But like, a good bribe because charity, so it’s okay.

No, extortion. They never had any right to be holding him in the country in the first place.

Lochte was right about there being a robbery, he just had the timeline all wrong. That knucklehead can see into the future!

So, a bribe.

This money is going to “an institute” the same way that the singles put in a g-string pay for “nursing school.”

This doesn’t do much for the reputation of the Brazilian government. That is the definition of extortion/bribery.

Is it really a lie to say they were robbed at gunpoint? Because while obviously they weren’t telling the whole story, certainly in the US armed security can’t just demand you hand over all your cash to compensate for trashing a bathroom. Seems very extra-legal. Sounds a lot like these guys acted like assholes, got…

I think this may be too brash for even Russians. I’m thinking more Albanian or Bosnian “businessman”.

I don’t think it’s quite 80s tacky enough for Trump. Plus it’s made in Montreal. Trump prefers his imports be made in China, like any good rich American.
