What is wrong with these people? Look, I get gambling being a thrill and them wanting to engage in it, becuase what the fuck else are you going to do when you're that rich, but why oh why do they constantly need more money? It cannot *possibly* bring them any joy at this point.
Isn't this the guy who invested heavily into a drone company after his father became president, then the company got a massive government contract (no-bid) and made millions off of it? Isn't he also the guy that stole from a family name cancer charity and was forced to take a class on how to run a charity without stealing from it? THAT GUY? Who hasn't ever been indicted for anything, despite inside info his his father's fraudulennt business dealings?
No, this is Daniel Cormier, a former fighter who was being pushed as a dual-title holder, then he got beaten up by another dude who was also a piece of shit
So.. if we look back to the Black Sox scandal, the relative offense here is called "conspiracy to defraud" and he's guilty as sin if these messages are really his.
So a fighter gets messages from Eric where they chat about the fights and Eric asks about illegal information, then he posts the chat and deletes it and now claims he was fooled. By whom exactly? No claims that Eric’s account was hacked. In fact Eric went with the AI generation route. But that makes no sense as the guy has the original chat still.
Seems sketchy to me. It doesn't strike me as how DC talks. The conversation reads unnatural. The absolute buzzword question of "are any of the fights rigged" over what is displayed as an unencrypted message seems to on the nose. Even with that family's blatant corruption and incompetence. I think with all the scrutiny the UFC has had about fight rigging and fixing that DC wouldn't open the can of worms like this. He'd either do nothing or tell Dana and or the FBI who would do nothing.
I saw that and personally, I am inclined to buy that. It is too big of a stretch to me that DC would post that (knowing what the fallout would be) and delete it an hour before the broadcast with intention to still participate in the event and go do the broadcast. IMO if that really happened he would have been off during the broadcast, but he sounded like he usually does and not someone I would equate to sounding like they were bearing the weight of that disclosure.
I never expected Americans to be this lethargic. Totally overestimated their will not to let anybody grift them like this family and their island tours holiday friends. A good bunch of the files ARE VIDEOS. What is up with those?
He did post this exchange, but deleted it and now denies it happened. Noted: the POTUS mob family has the power and petty energy to bully him and everyone around him, ruin his career, and make his life hell, so it may feel easier for him to choose self-preservation atm. But no matter how hard he plays he will never make this team, and there is no prize.
they know each other and have each others' phone numbers, is it really that much of a surprise that they're cordial with one another on first greeting? I know I give my phone number to all my enemies so they can text me out of the blue and I can tell them "Hey fuck you and fuck your family too"
Sure, but your personal enemies also probably haven't stolen from a children's cancer charity, or taken a shit on our nation's entire character on the global stage, or raped children 🤷♀️
Um, if you're a business man and you get a Twitter DM out of the blue from the president's son you don't think you're gonna play nice initially regardless of your political leanings?
Man I get the hate for Trump but the down votes are petty spaghetti. DC is one the most reasonable cool people in MMA. Of course he greets a new person in a respectful way. Too bad they’re going to be after him now.
All right asshole, you own a business who provides wages to 100's of people who rely on that to make a living and you get a message from someone who has some semblance of power to risk your ability to continue to do that and you decide to say "Fuck off Eric" right out of the gate and you see how that goes for you. Plus not playing nice would mean Eric would have just gone elsewhere. The fact that he posted the interaction shows you his integrity otherwise we'd be none the wiser.
It's like the burglar that found kiddie porn on a laptop they stole and turned it in to the cops.
Sometimes a piece of shit person just isn't as big of a piece of shit as the other guy.
Plus, this fucking family has grifted fucking billions and they're sniffing around for fucking rigged fight tips? Jesus fucking christ, it's not even your fucking money you chump, just place a fucking bet.
Your dream job gets hired to perform at the Capitol of your nation. The son of the potus dms you related to your dream job..... You have a brain and act proffesional. You bring to light and publicly expose them for trying to do inside betting. Idk wtf you expect. If he wasn't proffesional from the beginning 1. Who would believe his credibility. 2. Jr. Probably would have dmed someone else. 3. The man is risking a dream job and that deserves respect.
The business he works for is doing a job at the capital. You just need to calm down and reread what I said, it's not what you quoted, and yeah whoops I made a spelling mistake. I think your mind is on something else and you're tunnelvisioned right now. His dream job is working for the UFC/ affiliates, and he is putting his neck out doing what he did.
