SMH. Man Posed As CIA Agent To Fool Women According to Mail Online A Virginia man with two wives in different parts of the state has been arrested after he posed as a CIA agent in a bid to hide his elaborate double life from the young women. David Jin Lee, 26, of Williamsburg, is married to a Norfolk-based sailor and another woman, with whom he has a child, in Fairfax. After he asked the sailor to send him $2,000 claiming he had been captured and tortured by North Korean agents on a CIA mission to China she became suspicious and the Naval Criminal Investigation Service began to unraveled the plot. Investigators quickly learned Jin Lee was not in the CIA and had been staying at a home in Fairfax. Agents and City of Fairfax police searched the home and interviewed the woman who lives there with her father. She said she was Jin Lee’s wife and the mother of his child. A marriage certificate at the Fairfax County Courthouse confirmed the union. ‘That means bigamy here in Virginia, and it’s a serious offense,’ City of Fairfax police Lt. Craig Buckley told NBC News. ‘It’s a Class 4 felony.’ NCIS investigators found a CIA coin, a gun and items that could have been used to make fake CIA badges from the Fairfax home. ‘They did find a laminating machine and several laminating materials that could have been used to manufacture those identification cards, so that was certainly of use,’ Buckley said. Jin Lee was arrested in Williamsburg. Both women were shocked at the discovery and police said they consider each of them and their families victims. ‘It’s not every day that someone will go to these lengths to perpetrate such a fraud or a con against someone, and it seems to be, at least on the surface, pretty sophisticated and has been able to, unfortunately, dupe two young ladies into his fraud,’ Buckley said. James City Police arrested Jin Lee on Wednesday and charged him with forgery of a public document. He is also reportedly charged with bigamy and uttering a forged public document. Jin Lee is being held at the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail. He should have been a man and admitted to his dirty doggin’ ways. Did he really think this isht was going to work?
Wow I always read these experiences and never thought I’d be able to write my own. I met Justin in Las Vegas on June 28, 2013 . I came from the San Francisco Bay Area just for him. I’ve been a Belieber since the beginning and Justin has inspired me so much. I’ve wanted to meet Justin since the time his first album came out. One day, my mom said, “You know Justin is going on tour again?” I was said, “Yeah but I didn’t think I’d be able to go again..can I get tickets?” Little did I know that she was planning on getting me meet & greet tickets! The next day when general sale was out, I came home from school and I went straight back to the computer since my mom never gave me news if she found any pre-sale tickets. I looked under some papers to doodle on and I found it. She bought me meet and greet tickets! I started crying right there and even texted my mom (she wasn’t home) asking if they were real. She told me it was supposed to be my Christmas present and I wasn’t supposed to know. I even had 4th row! I was so thankful. Then my school grades came around and I wasn’t doing so well. My mom threatened to sell my tickets if my grades weren’t up by 2 weeks. I got my F to a B almost overnight! Then the day came! During the pre-party, I met a lot of nice people, some from Ireland, some from Mexico and Australia! When it came to the meet and greet, I was about the 8th group (me and my mom) in line. I started hyperventilating just standing there. Everybody who just met Justin, were walking out crying. When I was up next to meet Justin, my mom said, “Look baby there he is.” The other girl was still in there and I was just staring at him. He was so beautiful. I walked in and I was in shock. I could’ve fainted right there but I kept it together. As soon as I reached him, I gave him the biggest hug I’ve ever given and he said, “Hi” in such a sexy voice. I started tearing up but I didn’t wanna mess my picture up so I held it in. I couldn’t even think. Right after I took my arms off of him, he put his arm around me and I was like “OMG” in my head. After the picture, my mom was chanting “KISS HIM, KISS HIM!” and Justin leaned away and security was already telling me to leave. I walked out of the little room bawling my eyes out. My mom walked in for her picture and he said, “Hey this ain’t no kissing booth!” and my mom said, “Well my girl loves you!” Then my mom grabbed his face for her picture! I was waiting for my mom outside of the little curtain room and she walked out saying, “Oh stop! You’re just overwhelmed!” Then we got a signed record of Believe and I went to buy some merch at the stands before everybody got there. Most girls from the meet & greet were doing the same. One girl asked me, “Are you okay…because I’m not.” We both started crying again. A lot of older people were asking if they were good tears and we couldn’t even talk since we were crying so we nodded yes. The concert was amazing. Wiz Khalifa was also there and extremely close to me. I also had the chance of touching and taking a picture with Justin’s shoe that a girl won at the pre-party! Remember to never say never and believe! -@justinswife4evs Read the original: Wow I always read these experiences and never thought I’d…
Tim Lake had a package from Amazon stolen from his house recently, and decided to seek revenge – and the return of his K-Cups – in hilarious fashion. A security camera at the 29-year-old’s Arizona captured an unidentified woman nonchalantly walking into his yard and making off with the box last Friday. Lake didn’t find out about it until it was too late, but got to work the next dat on a flyer that he hoped would help catch (or at least humiliate) the K-Cup thief: The flyer, ID’ing the bandit as “either a woman or Dog The Bounty Hunter has really let himself go,” lists the K-Cup snatcher’s nationality as “Un-American.” He lists the distinguishing characteristics “shameful and super awkward running style” and her weight as “600 pounds” … which he felt bad about it. Not too bad , but bad. Lake told the Huffington Post that he “felt kind of bad about [that] comment,” but, “then I figured if you steal from me, I have the right to make fun of you.” And himself. Lake hilariously concluded his wanted poster with his own AOL email address, which he claims is still cool even if Google doesn’t think so. So far, its inbox hasn’t received any tips, but he says neighbors have been “supportive” and the flyers have actually led to him making some new friends. That may almost make up for the lack of coffee in his Keurig. Almost. Fortunately, on that note, Green Mountain Coffee got wind of what happened and has already mailed him a replacement batch … so really it’s win win. Even if he might want to start drinking stronger coffee. Just saying. Best Wanted Poster Ever Asked if he will still have packages delivered to his house, rather than a nearby UPS store, he said yes, because if he caves, “the terrorists have won.” Amen. Be strong, Tim.

Some people can only wish to have a love like they had. Couple Married 75 Years Dies A Day Apart According to Today News When Les and Helen Brown became high school sweethearts more than 75 years ago, their parents didn’t believe the match would last. Les’ father was a businessman and prosperous landowner in Southern California. Helen’s father worked on the railroad. “Both families were not too thrilled about the union,” their son Les Brown Jr. told TODAY.com. “The good news is they proved them wrong.” Les and Helen, who were born on the same day in 1918, celebrated 75 years of marriage in September with a quiet gathering over cake. “They really enjoyed each other’s company,” Les Jr. said. “They were really inseparable and were never apart.” That bond was so strong that neither Les nor Helen wanted to live without each other, though they knew that the end might be imminent. Les had been sick with Parkinson’s disease for some time, and Helen was battling stomach cancer. Les recently slipped into a coma at the couple’s Long Beach, Calif., home, and hospice workers said he might live for just a few more days. Helen, who was expected to survive for some months, became very weak. She passed away on July 16. Les died the following day — he never knew about his wife’s death. They were 94 years old. Les and Helen’s love story, first reported by the Long Beach Press-Telegram, has since gone viral. Their son Daniel told TODAY.com that his parents wouldn’t have shared the same opinion of the ensuing attention. “Mom hated notoriety. I don’t think she would have enjoyed it,” he said. His father, though, was a photographer and perhaps had an appreciation for a warmhearted story. “He would have loved it.” Daniel said such differences are what made his parents so well matched. Helen was very sweet but particular about how things should be done. Les, on the other hand, was easygoing, a “man of simple pleasures” who loved coffee and donuts. Helen kept the family humming along while Les helped her relax when life became hectic or complicated. “What one lacked, the other made up for,” Daniel said. The couple loved to travel and often took road trips up the California coast to San Francisco and Monterey. They doted on their many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They also shared a deep religious faith as Jehovah’s Witnesses, which helped them weather a difficult period of their marriage in the 1950s. “They were very forgiving of each other’s foibles and weaknesses. They were so willing to work at making themselves happy.” Daniel said that their marriage was a testament to the power of love: “It knows no barriers and seems to know no bounds. They were from different sides of the tracks and it didn’t seem to matter to them. After 78 years, they were very much in love.” Some people in this generation know nothing about long lasting relationships….just making a whole bunch of babies without putting a ring on it.

This is a damn shame. Train Operator In Spain Derailment Bragged About Going Too Fast On Facebook According to The NY Post Not only was one of the operators of the Spanish train that fatally derailed Wednesday going way too fast, he also found time to brag about it on Facebook. Francisco Jose Garzon Amo posted photos of the train’s speedometer on the social networking site, according to Spain media outlet El Pais. Garzon is in custody at a hospital where he is recovering from minor injuries. The accident claimed the lives of at least 80 people. Garzon, 52, posted a photo of the speedometer reading 200 km/h (125 mph). He responded to a friend who commented on the picture: “If I went any faster, they’d fine me.” A screengrab was obtained by Gawker.com and then later removed from Garzon’s Facebook. “What fun it would be to drive side-by-side the police and then pass them by, triggering the speed radar,” Garzon added. “Haha, bit of a fine or [train operator] Renfe, ha ha!” Garzon, a 30-year veteran of Spain’s national rail network, radioed in right before the crash saying the train was going “190” km/h (120 mph). An Associated Press analysis of video images suggests the train may have been traveling at twice the speed limit, or more, along that curved stretch of track. Spain’s government said two probes have been launched into the train’s derailment Wednesday night on its approach to this Christian festival city in northwest Spain, where planned celebrations in honor of one of Jesus’ disciples gave way to a living nightmare. The regional government in Galicia confirmed that police planned to question Garzon, in Santiago de Compostela’s main hospital with unspecified injuries, as both a witness and as a possible suspect, but cautioned that possible faults in safety equipment were also being investigated. The Interior Ministry raised the death toll to 80 in what was Spain’s deadliest train wreck in four decades. The Galician government said 94 others remained hospitalized in six regional hospitals, 31 of them — including four children — in critical condition. The U.S. State Department said one American was killed in the crash and five others were injured. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said those numbers were “likely to change” and declined to elaborate. “Today the American people grieve with our Spanish friends, who are in our thoughts and prayers,” President Barack Obama said in a statement. If he would have spent less time on Facebook bragging, people would still be alive.

At least he followed thru with Kerry, and gave her a ring to hold on to.- As irony would have it, Nnamdi was also the victim of a baby mama “Catfishing” attempt this year. Here are the deets also via Terez Owens : So Nnamdi Asomugha of the Eagles has a fake baby Momma. He has NEVER seen this girl before, he never knew she existed. She is claiming to have a 3 year old son name Blaked. She’s hiding behind a girl (her old friend) name Brittany Parker’s pictures. The FAKE BABY MOMMA is going by BENITA. She is reaching out to different NBA players gfs/ bms, and telling them sad stories on how she just found out she had cancer and she needs money for her treatments. She has been doing this with the same group of girls since 2007″ Nowadays you have to be very careful who you trust, especially in these Catfish days we live in. Kerry and Nnamdi seem to have something in common — pretty shaky romantic histories! Is their matrimony-dom built to last or do you think it’s a “Scandal” in the making?
