Well, he IS a DHIMOCRAP, so bribery IS expected. Isn't that right @Blackvegetable  ??

One of the Left’s sanctuary darlings just got slapped with federal charges. Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins, best known for kicking ICE out of his jails and turning Boston into a safe haven for illegal immigrants, was arrested on Friday by the FBI in Florida on federal extortion charges. According to reports, Tompkins allegedly demanded $50,000 from the owner of a national cannabis company looking to operate in Boston. 

 Tompkins was arrested after a federal grand jury indicted him for allegedly extorting a cannabis company executive. He was arrested on two counts of extortion under color of official right, U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley’s office. Foley criticized Tompkins for allegedly abusing his position, emphasizing that elected law enforcement officials should act with integrity and serve the public—not themselves. She also called his alleged actions a betrayal of voter trust and disrespectful to the honest employees in his department. 

 "Elected officials, particularly those in law enforcement, are expected to be ethical, honest. and law-abiding — not self-serving,” she said. “His alleged actions are an affront to the voters and taxpayers who elected him to his position, and the many dedicated and honest public servants at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department. The people of Suffolk County deserve better." 

 Prosecutors say the cannabis company applied for a license to open a dispensary in Boston back in 2019. As part of the application, the company needed a "positive impact plan" — essentially a requirement to show how they would benefit the local community. They fulfilled that by partnering with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department to hire formerly incarcerated individuals through a re-entry program. But as the company began moving forward and making its plans more public, Sheriff Steven Tompkins allegedly pressured an executive to let him invest in the company. Fearing that Tompkins could jeopardize their partnership — and potentially delay the IPO or derail their license approval — the executive gave in. Tompkins reportedly wired $50,000 to buy stock in 2020 at roughly $1.73 per share, after a reverse stock split, that translated into around 14,417 shares at a value of about $3.46 each. 

 When the company went public in 2021, its stock was valued at around $9.60 per share. But by May 2022, the stock had declined, resulting in financial losses for Tompkins. That’s when Tompkins demanded his $50,000 investment back. The company executive agreed, even though the stock’s value had dropped, and repaid Tompkins in five checks issued between May 2022 and July 2023. Prosecutors allege that, at Tompkins’ direction, the executive labeled some of the checks as “loan repayment” or company expenses” in the memo lines to disguise the true nature of the payments.

Your rule.

Mr Vegetable, it would behoove you to educate yourself on topics prior to flapping your gums.  This is the second topic in  five minutes where you face planted.  Well, actually third is you count the BS concerning your post count from Friday.

A topic of zero consequence....an attempted distraction from "OrangeMan really sucks"..

L on your forehead..

Is Donald Trump a Grifter?
The label "grifter" is often applied to individuals who use deception or manipulation, particularly in political or financial contexts, to enrich themselves or obtain money by questionable means
. Regarding Donald Trump, the term has been used by critics and political opponents to describe various aspects of his business and political career. 

• Business practices: Some of Donald Trump's business dealings, such as using his name for various ventures and leveraging his public persona, have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the appearance of self-enrichment. For instance, one ethics watchdog organization has tracked numerous alleged instances of conflicts of interest during his presidency, including visits to his properties by US and foreign officials. Further, reports have suggested potential conflicts arising from his expanded business ties, including cryptocurrency ventures, new overseas real estate deals, and numerous branding and licensing deals, which some ethics lawyers believe could provide avenues for influencing a sitting president. In fact, one analysis suggests that Trump made up to $160 million from international business dealings and foreign governments likely paid him $13.6 million while he was in the White House. Critics have also pointed to his refusal to divest from his businesses during his presidency as a departure from precedent and a source of ongoing conflicts of interest.
• Charitable endeavors: Trump's charitable foundation, the Donal

 

I wish I could get total immunity.

No...you ALWAYS make it about me and NEVER want to talk about Grifty.

When you braze your lips to the taint of a rapist felon, you lose the authority to complain about corruption and vice.
