Land Of The Scammers: Georgia Man Reportedly Cheats Friends & Family Out Of $750K Over Fake Super Bowl Tickets

Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Man In Georgia Scams Friends And Family With Fake Super Bowl Tickets Georgia police are currently looking for a man who reportedly made over $750,000 after scamming friends and family with fake  Super Bowl  tickets. WSB-TV Atlanta  is reporting that Ketan Shah is wanted for allegedly scamming a number of people he was close with–which includes his very own mother. His wife has commented saying that she hasn’t seen her husband since she reported him missing back in January. An alleged victim of the scam, Alan Tartt, said that Shah took off with $20,000 of his money and never delivered on the promise of some premium Super Bowl tickets. “It’s just crazy, mind-blowing,” he said. “Everything seemed legit.” Tartt also cited that before this specific incident, Shah had a seemingly reliable business image and it’s easy to see why so many people were fooled by him. Shah’s own mother says she was scammed out of a whopping $36,000, but she won’t be pressing charges. “It was a similar promise to all the other people who bought tickets,” explained Minish Shah, who isn’t related to Shah but claims to have known him closely. “One hundred level seating with access to the concierge lounge and a few pre-parties. I find the whole situation kind of bizarre, and hopefully, there will be some kind of logical explanation.” “Right now, what we know of is just slightly over three quarters of a million dollars scammed out for Super Bowl-related stuff,” Gwinnett County police spokesperson Wilbert Rundles explained. “It’s not that he posted some ad and random people are contacting this guy for tickets and being scammed. He’s known these people for many years. One of them, he’s known his whole life because it’s his own mother, and he’s taken advantage of them.” Four Atlanta men have filed theft by deception reports on Shah, who still hasn’t been found.

So Sad: NYC Woman Blogs Suicide Note Before Apparently Killing Herself

Source: Geber86 / Getty NYC Woman Blogs Her Suicide Note A Manhattan woman blogged her own suicide note on her personal web site before she apparently hung herself in her West Village apartment, according to a Daily News report Thursday. Tara Condell, 27, was found dead by cops after not reporting to work. She was reportedly found hanging from the closet door of her W. 10th St. apartment. In a note on her web site titled “I Hate the Word ‘Bye,’ But See You Later Maybe?” Condell said she was “plain old-fashioned tired of feeling tired. I have written this note several times in my head for over a decade, and this one finally feels right. No edits, no overthinking,” she wrote. Condell’s bio describes her as a registered dietitian and nutritionist specializing in general nutrition, weight management, gastrointestinal disease, and geriatric health. From her Instagram page, Tara showed followers how much she loved to travel and try different foods. So sad. In the note, she details her reasoning behind her decision, asking her friends and family not to blame herself. Scroll down to read Tara’s final letter to her family and friends at your own discretion. Tara blogged the following goodbye note on her website. I Hate The Word “Bye”, But See You Later Maybe? I have written this note several times in my head for over a decade, and this one finally feels right. No edits, no overthinking. I have accepted hope is nothing more than delayed disappointment, and I am just plain old-fashioned tired of feeling tired. I realize I am undeserving of thinking this way because I truly have a great life on paper. I’m fortunate to eat meals most only imagine. I often travel freely without restriction. I live alone in the second greatest American city (San Francisco, you’ll always have my heart). However, all these facets seem trivial to me. It’s the ultimate first world problem, I get it. I often felt detached while in a room full of my favorite people; I also felt absolutely nothing during what should have been the happiest and darkest times in my life. No single conversation or situation has led me to make this decision, so at what point do you metaphorically pull the trigger? I’m going to miss doing NYT crosswords (I was getting really good). That one charcuterie board with taleggio AND ‘nduja. Anything Sichuan ma la, but that goes without saying. A perfect plate of carbonara (no cream!). Real true authentic street tacos. Cal-Italian cuisine. Hunan Bistro’s fried rice. The pork belly and grape mini from State Bird Provisions circa 2013. Popeye’s of course. Bambas too. I’m also going to miss unexpected hugs. Al Green’s Simply Beautiful. Cherries in July. Tracing a sleeping eyebrow. Smoking cigarettes. The Golden Gate Bridge at sunset. That first sip of iced cold brew in sticky August. Making eye contact with people walking down the street. When songs feel like they’re speaking to your soul. Jeopardy. Saying I love you. Late night junk food binges. Shooting the shit. And especially the no-destination-in-sight long walks. No GoFundMes, no funeral, no tributes, no doing-too-much please. All I ask now is for you to have one delicious (I mean a really really great) meal in my honor and let me go, no exceptions. It’s selfishly time for me to be happy and I know you can get down with that. Please try to remember me as a whole human you shared memories with and not just my final act. This is not your fault. It’s not exactly easy for me either, I’m here for you. I love you. I always have and I always will, I promise. Shikata ga’nai. I’m coming home, Dad. Make some room up on that cloud and turn the Motown up. I’m really sorry mama. Always, TLC

Jermaine Jackson Cries After ‘Leaving Neverland’ Premiere: ‘There Is No Truth To This Documentary’ [Video]

Jermaine Jackson wants no parts of the ‘ Leaving Neverland’ documentary , which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and details the explosive sexual assault allegations against his brother Michael Jackson . On Wednesday, Jermaine appeared on Good Morning Britain to defend his late brother and speak on behalf of the entire Jackson clan, saying: “I’m a thousand percent sure because Michael was tried by a jury and he was acquitted on all of this because there was no real evidence. There was nothing there. I will say this, our family are tired, very tired. Let this man rest. He did a lot for the world, let him rest. I will say this, there is no truth to this documentary.” He added: “We are living in a time when people can say anything and then it’s taken as truth… they would rather believe a documentary than what was said under oath. We are still mourning… just leave us alone, leave him alone. Let him rest, please, let him rest. He deserves to rest.” The controversial four-hour exposé will premiere on HBO this spring. Will you be watching?

What In The El Chapo? Florida Sinkhole Turned Out To Be Underground Tunnel To A Bank 

Source: Getty / Getty The world is officially turning into a Sci-Fi movie by the day. FBI officials have just discovered that a sinkhole just north of Miami, Florida is actually an unfinished 150-foot-long tunnel to a bank across the street. Here’s a look at the underground tunnel leading up to a Florida bank – discovered when police responded to a possible sinkhole. The FBI says it’s about 50 yards long and just 2-4 feet wide. The attempted bank burglary on @ABCWorldNews pic.twitter.com/34i17BKYru — Victor Oquendo (@VictorOquendo) January 30, 2019 Agent Leverock told reporters that the tunnel was so narrow “a person would have to lie on his or her stomach to navigate it.” According to the FBI news release , Inside or near the tunnel, investigators found a wagon that had likely been used to haul dirt, as well as a power generator and a winch, which can be used to haul heavy loads. “Everybody here is just shaking their heads,” Agent Leverock said. “They could’ve been going for the A.T.M., they could’ve been going for the vault.” Police are still baffled and investigating the mysterious tunnel. No arrests have been made.

Pubic Display Of Affection: Austin Police Pop Dingy Derelict For Power-Drilling Her Puddycat In Public,

Source: Kristina Strasunske / Getty Woman Arrested For Maturbating Publicly Masturbates In Back Of Cop Car If you’re horny, just do it, ride it, my pony. Those are the words of iconic American panty-purser Ginuwine, but its just a song, not life advice. Unfortunately, people like 26-year-old Dovie Nickels might have a difficult time understanding that. According to NYPost , police in Austin, Texas arrested Nickels for indecent exposure, what was she indecently exposing? Allow us to tell you… Police responded to a complaint from the JW Marriott Austin Hotel about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday about a woman across the street “holding a silver object” against her privates “with her legs straight up in the air, spread open,” according to the arrest affidavit. The hotel employee added that he could hear the woman “making moaning noises”. When he approached her to tell her to stop, she went to a bar next door where she continued her masturbatory mission. When police arrived at the bar where Nickels was double-clicking her mouse, she tried to play it off by putting her hands on the table, but officers noticed that she wasn’t wearing any pants. Even after being arrested Nickels reportedly continued to masturbate in the back of the cop car. At what point do you decide that getting a nut just isn’t worth it? SMH.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Woman Withdraws Life Support From Man Hospital Mistook For Her Brother

Source: Chanin Wardkhian/Getty / Getty Woman Withdraws Life Support From Wrong Person A Bronx, New York woman has filed a lawsuit claiming that a hospital allowed her to make a damning mistake in a case of mistaken identity. CNN reports that Shirell Powell stood by her brother’s bedside for nearly two weeks until she was told he was brain dead after a narcotics overdose. She then sadly told doctors to take him off life support and he passed away shortly after. The problem? The man was reportedly NOT her brother. Powell is suing St. Barnabas Hospital for negligence and is seeking monetary relief for “severe emotional harm and injuries” as a result of the hospital mistakenly identifying the unconscious man as her brother. Powell’s brother Frederick Williams is very much alive. The man she thought was her brother was actually Freddy Clarence Williams who was wrapped in a neck brace and tubes. He died July 28, 2018, and so far no family and friends have come forward reports CNN. Powell and her attorney claim that the hospital should’ve verified the man’s identity via his social security card. Can you imagine accidentally pulling a stranger off life support?!
