He was going to get her the five star hotel overlooking the mountains and sunset but could only afford the five star hotel overlooking the mountains.

You people have lost total perspective.
Back when the robber barons had it all, it was only the robber barons renting entire hotels for lavish parties for their children.
Now it's more than the robber barons, but their VPs as well.
Trickle down economics works, folks. Trickle down.

I've mentioned a number of times, when particularly egregious examples of human trash crop up in stories here- you know the ones I'm talking about; The family of 4 that weighs 1600 Lbs combined, lives on welfare and disability claiming they're "too fat to work", the babby-mammajamma of 16 by 5 different fathers who insists that "somebody take care of her children", the parents who leave their infant in the car on a 100 or 0 degree day to go drink and gamble, the proponent of SOPA who is proud of their technological ignorance while debating legislation that will shape the internet for decades to come, the guy in TFA- that all I want is one superpower. I'm thinking speed, invisibility, or teleportation would be the most handy- and I would dedicate my life to ridding the world of these people, and ideally in such a horrific or humiliating fashion that people would think twice before attempting these shenanigans. I'd never run out of "clients", I'd be engaged and busy with a purpose in life that, while debate would rage over the ethical standpoints, would be encouraged and supported by those of us who cannot stand that these things happen in the world. Sure, I could be an assassin-for-hire for some government and make millions doing their dirty work, but I think I'd aspire to a higher purpose, a calling, if you will. Eventually, my deeds would become stuff of legend; a way to frighten children at night, a permanent warning to those who would willfully do things so stupid, so vile, or so reprehensible, that even years after my last hurrah, and I hadn't been heard from in some time, they would think:
"Will I live to see tomorrow? Have I been a good enough person to deserve another sunrise? Will he grant me some mercy for the things I've done if he does show himself to me?"
From behind them in the darkness, I will smile, whisper "No" in their ear, and continue my work.

Back in the day, an AOL exec hired the *NSync for his kid's bar mitzvah. He got fired when he tried to expense the event, including the band's $250K appearance fee.

Just wait - he'll get tagged in a day or two once this goes wide.

I don't see the problem with this. Guy with tons of money puts a thumbnail of it back into the economy by renting entire hotel for a day. Are we supposed to want him to tuck it into a bank account and sit on it or something? Or are we just angry because the money is somehow "tainted" by how he acquired it so he shouldn't be allowed to spend it?

We did the same thing for my nieces wedding. Bought out the whole hotel.
Well, it only had about 20 rooms and they were all less than a hundred dollars but we still did the exact same thing.
Does that make me one of the 1% now?

Back in the day, you see, Verschleiser headed Bear's mortgage-backed securities operations. Toward the end of his tenure, his particular specialty began with what at the time was the usual industry-wide practice, putting together gigantic packages of crappy subprime mortgages and dumping them on unsuspecting clients.
But Verschleiser reportedly went beyond that. According to a lawsuit later filed by a bond insurer called Ambac, Verschleiser also masterminded a kind of double-dipping scheme. What he would do is sell a bunch of toxic mortgages into a trust, which like all mortgage trusts had provisions written into their pooling and servicing agreements (PSAs) that required the original lenders to buy the loans back if they went into default.
So Verschleiser would sell bad mortgages back to the banks at a discount, but instead of passing the money back to the trust, he and other Bear execs allegedly pocketed the funds.

I think the problem is instead of renting out expensive hotels he should be PMITA prison.

according to farkers, the rich don't spend their money and they don't do anything to stimulate the economy.
