If Davis and Pendergest-Holt are guilty, and it appears they certainly are, they should be treated like and other common criminal.
She may be smokin’ hot, but if she broke the law, I hope she loses everything including that big ol’ house in Baldwyn.
We’ll those guys of Stanford have now a new web site ( http://www.sibfraud.com ) from the legion of victims they created. It’s amazing they did all this and nobody from the goverment or financial institutions made any real effort to stop them.
if she’s so brillant, whatever happened to the smell test! You are all a bunch of wannabee hopefuls, that is what is required to support your greed in decision, you think the risk reward equation is going to change because you want to believe it!
