...duh she lost $12,000 then found it in a shoe.

Where did she get the money???

I believe she got it from him.

I stated in an earlier thread on this topic that I believed he was stealing his own money!

It's only logical that a rich man would give money to his girlfriend.

You are not a good judge of character, because this guy has been in the news for being a menace to society since his mother hit the jackpot and shared it with him.

I didn't judge him based on his past..... [ More ]

I bet my last dollar he paid her off so he would t do prison time, duh she lost $12,000 then found it in a shoe. Come on you know exactly where you placed that kind of money. You are not a good judge of character, because this guy has been in the news for being a menace to society since his mother hit the jackpot and shared it with him.

His antics are becoming a comedy show. Stay tuned, next week he starts a riot at the local Bingo hall.

Granny gets the best of him with purple dabber.

Just watched the video and Miss Fightmaster is attractive!

I guess he's enjoying getting beaten up

I think he should hire someone to help write his autobiography. I even have a title for it... The Arseanus of Fayette County .

Not as long as he loves unscrupulous women. They will keep getting him in trouble and he'll get the blame.

...and never date a woman whose last name is Fightmaster .

If someone tells you who they are, believe them

I bet the cost of a Powerball with powerplay ticket ...

You can't be very confident if you won't even bet the cost of a MM ticket.

I've cut back on my gambling spending....

We'll probably never know the full story of what really happened this time around but I'd be comfortable betting a lot more than the cost of even a $50 lottery ticket that we haven't heard the end of this guy's stories of brushes with the law.

People tend to jump to conclusions based on initial reports and far less than a whole story regardless of the source. If you could pull your head out of your misogynistic ass maybe you'd get a better glimpse of a fuller, and more realistic, story.

If you believe that, you've got the I.Q of an audience member on the Maury show!

Speaking of the Maury show, why do you think the majority of episodes about cheating are about MEN accused of cheating, and not women???

That's because the v... [ More ]

I never believed that Mr. Farthing was guilty of what he was accused of.

It didn't make sense that somebody who took home about $45 million would break into a house just to steal 12k, but the guy seems to have done a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. And even if you have $45 million if you break into a house for other reasons you might as well grab... [ More ]

Well, as a man whose entire family goes back for generations in Kentucky, you have no idea how the good ol' boy network operates. Ex-girlfriend (you may recall, she was charged in the assault at St. Pete Beach, too) got her money back. Doubled. And a matching purse for her shoes. Judge got an all-expenses paid golf vacation at The Greenbrier. I'm a pretty good judge of character myself.

At least they're wise enough to know they can't debate against us on the matter. The next best thing is to keep silence and downvote our posts. As a wise man once said, The fool who knows his foolishness is wise at least so far, but a fool who thinks himself wise, he is called a fool indeed.

* You may be onto something there. Recall that decades in the past, having a tattoo was immediately associated with bad traits, now it's all over the place on folks both good and bad. One can't tell the difference.

I never believed that Mr. Farthing was guilty of what he was accused of.

I've always been a good judge of character.

That's why my first post in the previous thread about him, I stated, There is more to this story .

He doesn't look like a guy who would do something that stupid.

In this country today, whenever a woman accuses a man of something, society automatically believes her and that the man is guilty of whatever she accuses him of.

With many men being falsely accused of... [ More ]

When you think of all the different things that one would have done with such a windfall.

Making meaningful memories.

But like you said, to each their own.
