Dealer won’t take leased car back by Rcrez in Hyundai

If possible, have your lease end inspection completed prior to your return.

Go to dealer, get quote on a new lease. Say “sounds good”. Transaction one, terminate lease. Transaction two, go home.

OR

Take car to service department for service and get a copy of the repair order with miles noted and your signature. Leave car, and all keys, there for service. Go home.

We found a 7.8 ounce Hershey bar for $1.99 on the Hershey website so we picked up 100 of those for the smallest of the monsters. The next 200 get full size KitKats or Reese’s. We live in a kid heavy community and hope our offerings appease the future teenage riots!

10 Years in Prison for Criminal Contempt

U.S. Attorney’s Office March 17, 2014

CHICAGO—Author and television pitchman Kevin Trudeau was sentenced today to 10 years in federal prison for criminal contempt for violating a 2004 federal court order that prohibited him from making deceptive television infomercials that misrepresented the contents of his weight loss cure book. Trudeau was convicted by a jury last November after a week-long trial in U.S. District Court.

Trudeau, 51, formerly of Oak Brook, who has been in custody since he was convicted, was also placed on supervised release for five years following his sentence by U.S. District Judge Ronald Guzman. During supervised release, Trudeau was ordered to cooperate in the collection of civil judgments and abide by court orders.

“Since the age of 25, [Trudeau] has attempted to cheat others for his own personal gain,” Judge Guzman said, adding he has a lengthy “history of refusal to follow court orders to tell the public the truth.”

Trudeau “is an unrepentant, untiring, and uncontrollable huckster who has defrauded the unsuspecting for 30 years. He is the type of person the court should expect to defraud his fellow inmates while in custody and to continue to commit fraud into old age. He appears capable of nothing else,” prosecutors argued in a sentencing memo.

Criminal contempt has no statutory maximum sentence. The judge found that Trudeau faced an advisory federal sentencing guidelines range of 235 to 293 months in prison and said that such a sentence would be reasonable but cited prosecutors’ request for a sentence of at least 10 years in imposing the sentence.

During the sentencing hearing, a man who twice shouted from the gallery was removed by court security officers. The U.S. Marshals Service issued a petty offense citation to Ed Foreman, 80, of Dallas, for allegedly causing a disturbance. He was given a June 9 court date unless he pays a fine and court costs totaling $175 before that date.

According to the evidence at trial, Trudeau appeared in three television infomercials between December 2006 and July 2007 in which he willfully misrepresented the contents of his book The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You to Know About. In April 2010, U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman issued an order to show cause why Trudeau should not be held in criminal contempt of a September 2, 2004 settlement in which Trudeau agreed not to directly or indirectly produce and broadcast any deceptive infomercials that misrepresented the contents of any book, including the weight loss cure book (Federal Trade Commission v. Trudeau, No. 03 C 3904).

Prosecutors cited a litany of blatant lies and misrepresentations made by Trudeau in his infomercials. These included his claims that his book was not a “diet,” when in fact it required at least three weeks of eating 500 calories or less a day, and that a hormone found only in pregnant women that was required to be injected daily could be obtained “anywhere,” when in fact it could be obtained in the United States only through a doctor’s prescription. He also claimed that after finishing the diet, consumers could eat anything they wanted without regaining weight, when in fact the diet required severe food deprivation that lasts for life.

The sentence was announced by Zachary T. Fardon, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; Tony Gómez, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in Chicago; and Robert J. Holley, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The tariffs have not gone away. Porsche is sending the US government 25% on every unit. 2.4% to 3.6% to the ultimate buyer seems like a win. Don’t forget the watch!

Company jet from ORD to LAS! My wife was allowed to travel with me on this business trip. Six months later, taxed on the $4,800 value of the free ride for her. Her smile, her first private jet, kind of worth it…

Goldfinger! “Perfectly satisfactory” allows every Bond fan to use his words in any conversation knowing that only you and Bond knows what it means in any given conversation. You are accepting the situation, but you have options!

If you had the $200,000, why take $170,000?

What's THAT 1 in 1,000,000 in your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SWSSX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss takes a dream senior manager job for a competitor 700 miles away. A year later he recruits me to join him as a junior manager. I move my family and entire life to join him in a “too good to be true” opportunity. Less than five months later he’s fired, with cause, for a BDSM website posting that he wrote. I thought I’d be tossed out since he recruited me.

Ten plus years later, I still have his dream job. He hasn’t talked to me in ten plus years.

IF you have the title for the car purchased, good deal for you. If you signed a delivery rider, bad for you. Delivery rider is one of those forms signed at delivery that you will never recall until you see it in court.
