Antonio Brown Indicted For Fraud

Corruption in Atlantic City government? I'm shocked. They should just give those guys orange jumpsuits on the day they're elected.

Sigh. One of our few hot, gay politicians.

Sigh. One of our few hot, gay politicians.

Oh my goodness! Who?? What??

Falsely claiming identity theft--classy. Do you think he and Shaun King will hook up?

Im not surprised that Trump nominated officials headed up this effort to take him down.

A messy vindictive queen who associated with him back then probably tipped off the feds, Im sure. This stuff happened almost 10 years ago and he made it all the way to city council status with all this information not being uncovered already. Someone totally tipped them off.

It's really sad that he turned out to be a former stunt queen. Atlanta of all places should have a gay black man on the city council.

OP looks like our boy is the BBC thug. He will be running with the alpha gang from day one. He'll be fine; he sends his love.

I take it he's not of Hispanic descent, but he's reminding me a bit of Aaron Hernandez. Will this story end the same way, but for different reasons?

Let's not turn this into great conjecture about how black or not black he is. We already did that on the previous thread about him.

r1 is Miss Teen South Carolina.

He's gorgeous. So sexy. I forgive him.

Sad! He was so hot I was hoping he'd rise up through the ranks

In his stories on instagram he's been reposting messages of some supporters. Apparently he recently had some public fight with Keisha Lance Bottoms and his supporters are suggesting her people have targeted him so it's all political. Let's be real though...this fraud he committed was quite dumb

interesting how he lost a bunch of muscle over the last few years though.

Anyone know what that scar is all about down his belly?

He’s hot. I will write him letters and put money on his books

He should have let his creditors sue him and then sued them in return, like Trump did with Deutsche Bank. He would be well on his way toward the presidency.

The football player was hotter and a much worse criminal.

Hernandez was not hotter and he was a complete psycho. I am going to conjungle with Antonio Brown. Both of them.

r10 Oops!!! What a difference a couple of letters make, huh? Mea culpa.

Am I the only one who pictured a bunch of prisoners around a TV watching ‘Downton Abbey’?

This is sad

[quote]Am I the only one who pictured a bunch of prisoners around a TV watching ‘Downton Abbey’?

No.

I first thought op was talking about Antonio Brown, the pro football player. I thought to myself, damn, this dude will do anything to keep a team from signing him.

Oh well, sucks for this dude. Hot stuff though.

Verificatia of Antonio sizemeat?

[quote]I am going to conjungle

You’re gonna do what now?

Wow...going to prison over a C class Mercedes.

Jussie, Mychal Kendricks, Antonio, these light skinned bois just can't do right these days gurl....

How could he have been so stupid?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Seems like he was getting loan after loan, just to buy expensive shit to APPEAR that he was rolling in cash.

I'll never understand why people do this. Work your ass off, save your money, invest well, and THEN reap the rewards of your hustle.

Also, lolz that he was working with closet case Jason Derulo before becoming a councilman.

[quote]Apparently he recently had some public fight with Keisha Lance Bottoms and his supporters are suggesting her people have targeted him so it's all political.

I wish some insider in ATL had the teas.

r29 chile he is like all the other stunt queens in Atlanta trying to keep up

Damn, AB is fine af. I had forgotten about him. Too bad he messed up. But it was before his tenure in public office, no? Ugh, while that fat fuck in the White House House lining his pockets with campaign money thru his family. Makes me sick.

LMFAO Antonio is being a mess with his stories. Over 74 story posts since last night. Re-posting his supporters' words

here are the best ones

I don’t even remember him lol. The name sounds familiar tho, I thought he was a football player or something lmao.

I don't know him.

so hawt

I still love him

I would still have sex with him, but I would look at him disapprovingly the entire time.

“Shame on you for commuting fraud daddy; now blow my walls out.”

Sugar walls, daddy.

Something tells me he has a harem of big booty twinks in Atlanta

Which one of them spilled the tea?

Not just Atlanta; he's all over.

Someone above said Atlantic City, NO. AC has even bad press, we don't need another fraudster in the mix. He is hot though. Does he know Andrew Gillum, they would make a sweet couple.

Gillum is not in his league, gurl.

[quote]Does he know Andrew Gillum, they would make a sweet couple.

Excuse me hunny, he's taken

Andrew Gillum is back tweeting and being fun and positive and righteous today. He committed no crime. Unless his wife comes down with something.

Atlanta is wear all my bad decisions and heartaches begin and (almost) end. If you're sexy and hot and built and ready, you can get away with a lot, for a while.

I prefer my men darker, like me. But I did enjoy me some of Antonio Brown. He's being framed. We must help him? Did you see how long it took him to turn that jacket into a knapsack? My beautiful brother has some cognitive disorder. He doesn't belong in prison. Stop with your racist fantasies.

Where you think he got that scar from fool? Do surgeons leave a scar like that? A little bullet hole in a man's ass cheek don't make a man imperfect either.

But could Brown run a ginormous industrial Midwest city?!

What a hottie! Too bad he'll probably take that trip to Oz.

To make a comeback from this, I'm calling that he'll hookup with a southern belle, and have her pop out a couple kids. The "reformed family man" image will play well with voters.

He is openly bisexual, so I wouldn't put it past him.

Atlanta is *where*

I already said that city is devil candy to a fine young black man with money. OOOoooowwweEEE! Don't make me misspell.

It's not nice to indict attractive people.

Should've taken his own advice, dummy. Gorgeous dummy. But yeah, short-sighted on his part, the forgery.

What are a few pieces of advice you would give to a young person looking to build their career? I would say to follow your heart, and to stop thinking about things and put action behind what you want to do. So many young people in this generation, they all think and talk about what they want to do, but no one takes necessary action to make it happen.

pre-indicted, pre-political life throwback pic

Some other queens in ATL will be going down with him. Im sure he was laying pipe those some loan officers so they could turn a blind eye to his fraudy applications.

Brown does seem fiery.

Lets cast the movie!

Marcus Scribner as young Antonio

Sanaa Lathan as Keisha Lance Bottoms!

What is it with Atlanta? It’s just such a cheesy place. So many people trying to look rich when they don’t have any money. I wouldn’t want to live there.

As opposed to L.A. where we all know EVERYFUCKINGBODY is fabulously wealthy and no one ever gets their ridiculously expensive house foreclosed on.

Bitch please!

I can decipher your racist hiss whistle (through your dentures) from a thousand mile away R61.

Meth and hookers aren't illegal anymore?

[quote]Apparently he recently had some public fight with Keisha Lance Bottoms and his supporters are suggesting her people have targeted him so it's all political.

Never piss off a bottom. They can be VICIOUS!

Do we really think Bottoms has sway with the corrupt Barr DOJ?

R63 FYI I was specifically thinking of Kim Zolciak. So fuck you.

I have a soft spot for gay dudes who make mistakes on the way up but then right the ship. It is so hard for us. Every week at Datalounge is another thread that is representative of the catastrophe, hardship or high-drama that I think gays face collectively trying to get a foothold in a hostile, inhospitable world.

This guy wasn't a closeted, diseased queen actively working to erode the human rights of other gay men. He didn't kill anyone (I guess). He didn't directly rob taxpayers.

He deserves some small measure of grace.

R68 in this world of white privilege, Schock gets off but Brown won't.

r68 yes it is hard for us. I also think there is a lot of pressure, particularly in the black gay community. I think thats why Jussie lost his mind. We put a lot of pressure on each other and never feel good enough. That leads to these huge stunts that usually end up failing spectacularly in a very public way.

God. The ignorance of White people. You can’t make some of these comments up. I’m so happy I have a real education, which isn’t just a piece of paper but street smarts and common sense, something most of you lack. This is why you all will never be considered real New Yorkers, or real to any Major city you transplanted to. You lack that street smart common sense we who grew up here have.

If you can’t see how fishy the timing is for this, you’re blind.

First off, he isn’t just black. So please stop that shit. He himself has said he is PART black but is not just black. He identifies with his Non black side too. He is mixed and it SHOWS. I’m tired of mixed people only being labeled one thing. If Darren Criss does not have to be labeled Asian, this guy shouldn’t be just “black”.

Second, he isn’t gay. He’s never been in a relationship with a man. He is open minded to the idea. That is all. He’s never ever disclosed his sexuality and when gay men hit on him he tends to ignore those comments. DL found some random site claiming he’s “gay” and ran with it. As usual.

If he were anything it would be “open minded to the idea” or “bi leaning more toward women”.

R72 is crazy. Antonio is black and gay. Bi if you like.

Gay, Black and beautiful.

Bi MIXED and Beautiful.

[quote]Brown, 34, also becomes the first black openly gay candidate elected to the Atlanta City Council.

He’s MIXED. He isn’t “light”. There’s a difference between coming out with a light complexion when you have two black parents and having one black parent and one non black.

Look at his hair. His nose. His lips. That isn’t just “black”. Take a genealogy course. I’m sick of the ignorance.

You keep posting to non mainstream articles. He has yet to say he’s gay himself ANYWHERE

[quote]Brown, the first black openly LGBTQ person ever elected to the Atlanta City Council, had become an increasingly vocal member of the council this year, leading protests against police brutality and forming a task force to address the issue. He also publicly clashed with Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Fuck off racist at r71.

America’s Bisexual King was framed

[quote] Seems like he was getting loan after loan, just to buy expensive shit to APPEAR that he was rolling in cash.

That’s the American Way

Lol. that was fast. Wasn't he just elected. As others have said, it's ATL, I'm not surprised. Well, maybe a little, because he wasn't entrenched yet.

Atlanta has many rich people. Some of you sound SO IGNORANT

You bitches arguing about him being black, see r9 and beat it!

He is HALF black.

How would that make me jealous?! Lmaoo what?

He identifies as black. Next...

He identifies as mixed. Thanks.

No one identities as "mixed". Biracial maybe.

Yes. Biracial is mixed. He identifies as more than one thing. Because he is more than one thing

“Mixed?” That’s a word uneducated people in 1974 said. The modern terms are “biracial” or “multiracial.”

“Antonio Brown made history in becoming the first black openly LGBTQ person ever elected to the Atlanta City Council – and his unique perspective will be influential in ensuring our entire community is represented in the policy debates that affect our lives,” former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, president and CEO of the Washington-based LGBTQ Victory Fund, said in a news release.

By 2012 lending standards had really been tightened up. There’s no way he would’ve been able to take out these loans and then declare density theft if there weren’t other people helping him.

Did Brown pay back the fraudulent loans? I know he wanted to wiggle his way out of them, but if he paid them back I really don't see much wrong. It's been almost ten years since he signed for them.

R61

That’s America in a nutshell, not Atlanta.

[quote] Thursday’s indictment charges Huizar with the following criminal charges: 12 counts of honest services wire fraud; two counts of honest services mail fraud; four counts of traveling interstate in aid of racketeering; six counts of bribery; five counts of money laundering; one count of structuring cash deposits to conceal bribes; one count of making a false statement to a financial institution; one count of making false statements to federal law enforcement; and one count of tax evasion, according to prosecutors.

One of my best friends used to 'boost' merchandise from the luxury retailer where he worked as a cashier for years. He was caught and fired but (thankfully) not criminally prosecuted -- and only because he covered his tracks reasonably well. He has since turned himself around and is a source of support for his extended family and gives back to his community. I am so proud of who he has become. It wouldn't have happened if he went to prison.

What is the difference between "mixed" and "light"? You think black folks got lighter on their own? Light black folks are biracial as well it's just the mixing was down 4 or 5 generations back.

Oh my fucking God, R98! We went thru that same questioning if he's light skinned, bi racial, black, dark, bi, gay thread with this guy already! Give it a rest.

Exactly R99. And it's the same insane poster with the problems again. It's inherently racist. We're all a mix of things. Antonio is a hot man. Who identifies as black. Halle Berry has a white mother, but she identifies as black. Mariah Carey doesn't really mention it, but when she does she says she is biracial or mixed race. It is not for WHITE people to decide how the rest of us experience our lives, nor pass judgment on our "genealogy" based on how light skinned or dark skinned we appear. Not to mention to talk of features. WOW. The dude is asking for some purity test. There's enough colorism in the world already. That racist poster is obsessed about nothing. Does Antonio being black bother him? If so, why.

bizarre how this thread took a turn about his background and skin tone rather than his hotness and the charges

Not to mention tragic that there's no sizemeat verificatia.

Black community rallying around this King

If he was ugly they wouldn't be rallying around his azz

I would love to rally Around him

Someone released some steamy photos of him:

Lol the comments under those photos.

R106 those are older before he was elected and trimmed off the muscle

Isn't this pretty much how Trump got his financing?

With a sexy body?

Tragic nipple placement.

Interesting that he doesn't have a partner/husband/boyfriend. I guess he's a hoe like everyone else, thats cool i guess

My guess is that these charges are dirty tricks based on his introducing a law that would ban landlords from refusing Section 8 vouchers.

The real estate lobby in Atlanta is very, very powerful.

This fit is the real crime.

Still looks good enough to eat r114

He's fucking sexy. The jacket comes off R114. Then the shorts. What more do you need?

I hate people who say “we are all mixed with things!” Yeah. We are. But there is a difference between being 70% African ancestry to someone who has 25% African ancestry. I’m sick of us having to say that light brown person who has some black is only “black”. No. He isn’t.

I am a caramel man. Lighter than Antonio in person. My DNA says I am 60% European ancestry, 26% African ancestry and the rest is Indigenous and Native American. Someone said “oh that means you’re black”. So I’m exactly the same as Snoop Dogg, whose ancestry is 71% African, 23% Native American and 6% European? Give me a fucking break already.

And what about her? She’s 30% black. Is she just a “black woman” because of it? Spare me already.

Antonio is biracial AND IT SHOWS.

Nobody said you are anything R117. Racist, would be my guess. But a half black man or woman born in the USA will usually identify as black. Because that is the way they will be treated from the day they are born. Now give your knee jerk racism and jealousy a rest R117. Antonio Brown identifies as black. For political reasons or otherwise. He's sexy no matter what color you are. You're the one so hung up on it. And is Snoop Dogg really the only dark skin example of manhood you can think of? Y'all don't like dark skin. WE already heard you on the first thread!! I can tell you that Antonio Brown loves BLACK men. Deep inside him.

R119 But he is mixed. Period.

What exactly are we arguing over? What’s the conflict?

First let me start by saying I'm a real socialist so I couldn't care less abou people frauding banks and financial institutions. There's nothing racist here. Of course he's being targeted by someone, maybe a vicious ex who knows? However he did commit fraud, som of you act like he's being accused of something he didn't do.

Again, good for him for taking all the credit, should have been smarter though. I know people who never pays their bills and still manage so survive looking rich, my brother.

He's really cute but I have no idea who he is.

I actually don’t feel bad when people Fraud the fraudulent system.

Mr Brown is cute!! He doesn't seem like a harpy so I'm guessing top.
