Criminal Mastermind or Genius?

You know Mr. Whittaker, the fellow in the image up above is trying to tell you something and you're just ignoring it. If I were you, I'd build a massive bomb shelter and hide in it until this storm blows over.

"sexual predator"? for squeezing an asscheeck? that's a little unfair...but i doubt he cares.

he still has tens of millions more dollars than you (or me, for that matter)
 
2004-03-11 03:33:00 PM
This man is raising the bar for all of us. He is truly a hero.
 
2004-03-11 04:03:53 PM
This man is truly one of a kind. I demand a documentary.
 
2004-03-11 04:05:28 PM
This is the third time, by my count. Stupid rich people bother me.
 
2004-03-11 04:07:14 PM
I still have a feeling that he's using the robberies as a way to illegally transfer some of his lotto winnings.

"Just one day after adding sexual predator to his resume"

I'm not a sexual predator, so I had to lie on my resume. I hope they don't check. It would be really embarassing if they found out I wasn't really a sexual predator.

Nice job, leaving $85K on the front seat, assclown.
 
2004-03-11 04:57:31 PM
Hell, I'm just going to start following him and then rob the guys who keep robbing him.

I give the guy bonus points for insisting on carring enough cash to be able to flee to Mexico at any moment.
 
2004-03-11 04:59:54 PM
I believe this actually the 3rd time he has had money
robbed from the front seat of his truck. Someone should
just get the licence plate and break into his car when
they feel the need to purchase a new house.

This guy is one of the biggest tools in the US...actually,
he is in the running for the world title.
 
2004-03-11 05:10:59 PM
People like this win money and I can't even find a farking job.

Please give me his address.

Asshat has enough money to buy an electrified fence.

Too bad he doesn't have the brains to do it.
 
2004-03-11 06:36:15 PM
Bottom line: if you win the lottery, don't tell a friggin soul.
 
2004-03-11 06:37:07 PM
Well according to the recent news report he keeps his money in his automobile and said you need a book to handle lottery winnings. You do not need a book if you keep your money outside of the house in public view.
 
2004-03-11 06:37:16 PM
A Dumbass trifecta.
 
2004-03-11 06:37:26 PM
meh... welcome to west virginia.
 
2004-03-11 06:37:26 PM
Obviously he's not worthy of the money anyway. Better that it goes to some people with real initiative!
 
2004-03-11 06:37:39 PM
is this that hilljack from West Virginia?
 
2004-03-11 06:38:00 PM
I wonder what would happen if he and Henry Earl got together.
 
2004-03-11 06:38:33 PM
Here's the quick Jack Whittaker recap for those of you just joining us. After winning $315 million in the Powerball a little over a year ago, he has been:

1. Drugged and had $500,000 stolen from his car at a strip club.

2. Charged with threatening to kill the manager of a bar.

3. Charged with DUI just a couple weeks after the above.

4. Had $100,000 stolen from his car, AGAIN.

5. Been sued for allegedly lewd conduct against a female employee at a race track.

6. Had $85,000 stolen from his car. AGAIN!

That banging sound you hear right now is my head on the keyboard.
 
2004-03-11 06:39:02 PM
what is his address? I may drop in myself for some free money
 
2004-03-11 06:40:07 PM
it's the afternoon of the dumbasses
 
2004-03-11 06:40:27 PM
at least he had a $2.00 bill to pay for his meal
 
2004-03-11 06:41:22 PM
This guy is a complete waste of skin
You could hollow him out and replace the insides with jello and it'd have more intelligence.
 
2004-03-11 06:41:44 PM
the way this guy is spending money, he'll be poor like the rest of us in a year or two.

dumbass.
 
2004-03-11 06:42:04 PM
This isn't helping the "most lottery winners go bankrupt" statistic.
 
2004-03-11 06:42:19 PM
At this point he could hire a FULL time security detail of ex-secret service agents to protect him and he would still have come out ahead of all the money he has lost on having all this crap stolen.

This guy isn't going to be very rich for long at this rate... if a fool and his money are soon parted, does that mean that a complete record setting imbicile and his tons of money are even sooner parted?

This guy really amuses me... He's just so damn dumb.. just.. unbelievably incredibly dumb. AUGH! I can't stand how dumb this guy really is...it HURTS to think about the unfathomable depths of stupidity this guys intellect reaches. a FIVE year old old would have learned by now not to leave that kind of money in his car... geez.

sick... this needs a sick tag..

/end rant.

one for all you math kids:

500,000
100,000
85,000

what number comes next?
 
2004-03-11 06:43:01 PM
I'd hit it?
 
2004-03-11 06:43:16 PM
Is he purposely NOT putting this money in a bank to avoid some kind of IRS thing or what?
 
2004-03-11 06:43:50 PM

Is that true?
 
2004-03-11 06:45:04 PM
He should be charged for DWP, drunk with powerball.

That was good! I'm laughing too hard to do the math :)
 
2004-03-11 06:46:12 PM
we should have let this guy win powerball years ago.
 
2004-03-11 06:46:21 PM

I wonder what would happen if he and Henry Earl got together.


Words to ponder on. ;)
 
2004-03-11 06:47:00 PM
This guy clearly doesn't care about keeping his money, so he should donate it to fark. We'll divide it up evenly.
 
2004-03-11 06:47:14 PM
When he runs out of money, will we finally stop seeing stories about him? Christ, I don't know which stories I'm more sick of seeing: the ones about this guy or the ones about Paris Hilton's latest antics.

doesn't anyone hide money under their mattress anymore???
 
2004-03-11 06:49:42 PM
i'd vote for tax-exempt money transfer too. If he really cared, he'd ask for sequential bills so he could track down the money in the event it was stolen. If he didn't, its likely he's expecting it to happen.

My answer:

2004-03-11 06:53:15 PM
What amazes me even more is that he was already a millionare BEFORE the lottery.

I HATE this guy.
 
2004-03-11 06:53:22 PM
You just know all three roberies were the same person. Keep trailing this guy long enough and you can retire to Maui.
 
2004-03-11 06:54:00 PM
This is what happens when you get wealthy without the brains to do through skillful business practices or white collar larceny.

On the positive side, this idiot's money being redistrubuted is good for the economy.
 
2004-03-11 06:54:45 PM
315mil - 685,000 = who gives a fark
 
2004-03-11 06:54:47 PM
1. win powerball
2. live in WV
3. hang out at strip clubs, bars and race tracks
4. keep your money on the front seat
5. unprofit

/no question
 
2004-03-11 06:55:45 PM
Oh why couldn't any one of many deserving souls have won that lottery instead of this loser?

I wonder what would happen if he and Henry Earl got together.

Weird. Before reading the thread, I was wondering the exact same thing
 
2004-03-11 07:02:54 PM
I love this guy. He gives me hope that one day, I, a poor college student who can't keep two bucks in his pocket when walking by a bar (this is Wisconsin, so there is a bar every twelve feet), may someday be able to loose money on a scale heretofore unheard of!
 
2004-03-11 07:05:02 PM
I wonder how many people stake out in front of his house at night and peek into his car.
 
2004-03-11 07:06:41 PM
$315,000,000 - taxes = (about) $157,500,000

Then having $685,000 stolen each year...it would take him...

230 years to have all of his money stolen.
 
2004-03-11 07:07:40 PM
I need to get a hold of this guy. He may have change for this one million dollar bill I received when selling my car.

/no, not really
 
2004-03-11 07:09:24 PM
Can we just get a Jack Whittaker category already?
 
2004-03-11 07:16:32 PM
Why is it that people who win huge jackpots act like they had no plan ready for when they won?

"It won't change much", "I'll probably keep working", "I'll retire a little early"

What the FARK? Here's the plan:

1. Buy tropical island.
2. Build mansion.
3. Install world-class wine cellar with plenty of those barrels of bourbon.
4. Send letters to favorite ex-playmates offering $1 million/year to hang around the pool naked.
5. Profit!

Valdemiro: that's an interesting theory, and I could almost believe it if it didn't take place in West Virginia. I'm not sure the whole state has enough collective intelligence to pull that one off. (I kid because I love!)
 
2004-03-11 07:24:59 PM
Stop bagging on poor old Jack, Can't you see he's doing his part to help get the economy moving along.

Something must be wrong with MSNBC's attempt at interstitials. Initial page loads come up with blank screens for me (source garbage) or prompts to download a binary executable with a random filename, which does not conform to a Windows .exe file. (Virus scans on the file come up negative.)

Hey! Powerball winner guy! Since you seem to not give a shiat about people taking your money, how about you stop on over to my place for a little while? Bring your wallet with you.

one for all you math kids:

500,000
100,000

I figure it's $23529.41

But I could be wrong. I suck ass at math.
 
2004-03-11 07:31:54 PM
What an idiot.

He "only" won 103 million after having 2/3 of it taken by taxes (and for choosing the cash option).

Usually, choosing the cash option is a GOOD idea. Then you get to invest the money. This idiot, however, doesn't seem to know what a bank is.

What kind of moron keeps $500,000 in cash in his car?

Then, after that was stolen, he still didn't learn to stick his money in the bank??? How can you be THAT STUPID? He's still keeping $85,000 sitting in his car? I mean, HE JUST LEAVES THE CASH SITTING IN HIS UNATTENDED CAR OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE.

If you really want to leave your money in your car, PARK IN THE GARAGE AND GET A SECURITY SYSTEM.

What's the problem? Does he live in a trailer without a garage? Does he think that would be a waste of money to actually protect his winnings? I suppose he thinks it's smarter spending all his cash on ostrich skin jackets!
 
2004-03-11 07:31:54 PM
saron,
accounted for...

$315,000,000 - taxes = (about) $157,500,000

Hmmm, I wonder if he has a LARGE insurance umbrella that would pay him for these losses, or if there's a spot he can do a deduction for stolen property/money on his taxes...
 
2004-03-11 07:33:21 PM
karma.....
 
2004-03-11 07:33:24 PM
This guy needs to get an alarm fitted to his car.
Or, stop withdrawing huge amounts of cash. What's the point of carrying that much cash around?
I'm guessing he is still a frequent visitor of strip clubs.
Credit cards are easier, or debit cards (although not in strip clubs. Sliding your card down the 'crack' doesn't go over well with, well, anybody).

Asshatius.
 
2004-03-11 07:33:47 PM
This moron must have people following him around all the time waiting for him to leave a large sum of money in his car.
 
2004-03-11 07:34:36 PM
This keeps up, he ain't gonna have any money left!
 
2004-03-11 07:35:10 PM

2004-03-11 07:43:09 PM
When I worked at Club Med I met a lady in her 40s who was a lottery winner from south america. She travelled year round, going from resort to resort. She said it'd been years since she'd been home. When she got tired of one resort, she'd move on to another, get drunk pretty much every day.

The one I met her at was in Tahiti. Now THATS the way to live off your lotter winnings.
 
2004-03-11 07:49:43 PM
Normally, the rule is:

"Beware large groups of stupid people!"

This assclown has enough stupid for a group of about 685,000!

He soooo did not deserve that money! I said it right after I found out he was a millionare before!

/At least he hasn't proved me wrong.
 
2004-03-11 07:56:51 PM
lookanematode:
Being and actual resident of the state I prolly wouldn't doubt that. Problem is WV is the perfect state to do something like that in. Most of the cops around the Charleston area are to stupid to pound sand and thats in the biggest city in the state. Now think for a sec that this guys in a small town in Putnam County. One county over from Charleston. Just imagine the calibre of police work going on out there. If he was illegally transferring money he could do this all year long and no one would be the wiser. The cops around here tend to take things at face value. Hell we have a park and ride (one of those places built to encourage car pooling) not to far from here where cars get busted into all the time. The solution. Officers park there to eat their donuts. Never bother to try and catch anyone. Just deter. I love this state.
/me has nothing.

spesimen

one for all you math kids:

500,000
100,000
85,000

what number comes next?


The simplest progression I could come up with is that the derivative of the loss goes down by [n-1]^0.745456361681293461133326436936, which gives you:

n1 = 500,000.00 -400,000.00
n2 = 100,000.00 -15,000.00
n3 = 85,000.00 -1,297.46
n4 = 83,702.54 -209.25
n5 = 83,493.29 -53.70
n6 = 83,439.59 -19.48
n7 = 83,430.44 -9.15
n8 = 83,421.29 -5.21
n9 = 83,416.08 -3.42
n10 = 83,412.66 -2.50

So, his losses are asymptotic about approx. $83,000. It would take about 1200 robberies for him to lose $100,000,000.

He'll piss the money away before he gets the rest of it stolen ... But he's still a complete idiot.

/dork
 
2004-03-11 09:21:43 PM
Good ol' Jack again, huh?!

*Another vote for a 'Jack Whittaker' tag (made on a dollar-bill)*

I work at a store in WV which sells lottery tickets... our running joke is "if i hit it, i am NEVER gonna be as much of an asshat as Jack!"
 
2004-03-11 09:35:40 PM
...not to mention all the money he's given to 'jesus'.
 
2004-03-11 09:58:14 PM
hell, he keeps this up and EVERYONE won the largest powerball jackpot.
 
2004-03-11 10:01:13 PM

This guy is the cat's ass!
 
2004-03-11 10:21:23 PM

Redo the math gang, the police recovered the initial $500,000 from the first robbery.So i get $185,000 "stolen" total. Idiot theives did not realize there was a breifcase full of money when they swiped his car the first time! Believe only the last two count.That being said.This guy STILL wins Unadulterated idiot of the year.Don't care how much freakin' money he as, Still an idiot supremo!
 
2004-03-12 12:34:19 AM
Do we have a pic of this asshat?
 
2004-03-12 12:34:23 AM
This asshat has a obscenely huge mansion that's a five minute walk from my parent's home in WV. It's easily one of the largest private residences I've ever seen. According to my folks, he rarely stays in the place (luckily for them, I suppose). To have such a gross display of wealth go unused is a slap in the face to the 99.99% of the rest of the state's population for whom poverty is all they'll ever know. Next time I'm visiting, I'll have to mosey on over an see if I can assist him in losing more of his money.
 
2004-03-12 02:06:43 AM
who in there right mind leaves $85,000 in there CAR. WTF is he really that stupid.

I need to stop or i will start ranting
 
2004-03-12 07:27:21 AM
I think I'm with the people who say these can't all be real robberies. This sounds like a convenient way to transfer money to shady characters while in the mean time avoiding the authorities. $685,000 in cash just disappearing is bound to look suspicious. $685,000 in case stolen off the front seat of your truck just makes you look like a moron. Perhaps he's paying off some old debts to the mob? It's not like you can just write Fat Tony a check for 600 grand.

This guy is my hero. If I won that much money I would run roughshod over this whole farking country. I would be a traveling party with booze and fluezys galore. I would gamble on everything and smoke about everything. I would have two lawyers on retainer constantly dealing with my lawsuits (for and against me). I would find Rick James and rub my dirty shoes into his new sofa. Holy lord, I would be a monster and unstoppable. Whitaker would look like an amateur compared to me.

and I'm not kidding.

You people who say he didn't deserve to win - who in the hell deserves to win any lottery? 'Deserve' has nothing to do with it.
