Then they are stupid. Ignorance is no excuse ============ Then they may indeed be stupid, but stupidity (and ignorance) IS a a legitimate defense. Not everyone is sharp or socially intelligent. We all have varying degrees of intelligence and sophistication. Ignorance is NOT "willfully ignoring the obvious" either. In fact if anyone were indeed WILLFULLY ignoring the obvious, then it would NOT be ignorance, but straight up fraud. There is a big difference between doing something through ignorance and doing it knowingly, willfully and intentionally. In fact our entire body of criminal law rests upon such principle/s.— April 25, 2010 8:31 p.m.

James Spader--ever--is--with Maggie Gyllenhaal ;) ============== Maggie Gyllenhaal= SKANK, and lousy actress, Andie McDowell = light years ahead of her. Jimmy Spader-has always been one of my favortie actors from the mid 80's. "Sex, Lies and Videotape" one of his best films, but "Two Days in the Valley" is a fantastic film with Jimmy leading the way with a terrific ensemble cast (and Terri Hatcher looking too fine!...loved the cat fight with Terri and Charlize Theron ). BTW-if you get a chance see "Less Than Zero" Jimmy Spader plays a really good role in that film too (bad guy again), which also has a fantastic ensemble cast.— April 25, 2010 8:22 p.m.

LOL...this is the SECOND internet warrior story I read today on the Reader! I must say though-I prefer these cat fighting women stories much more then the guy stories. If only I could grab a chair and some popcorn!— April 25, 2010 8:13 p.m.

The wife is a whole different ballgame. Especially if they were/are not sophisticated or socialally inteliigent. I think the wife could very easily be considered a victim. But that is true only if she were truly ignorant of the facts-if she was aware of "ill-begotten money" then that makes her part of the fraud also. A good example of this would be Randall Duke Cunningham's wife-she had no idea he was being bribed, and she was truly an innocent party who was intangled in a criminal fraud through no fault of her own. I don't really remember how she came out in the Duke case. As I recall the RSF home was bought with bribe money and the gov was going to take Duke's portion and HER portion of the home-but she obviously had some legit claim to part of the RSF home b/c their Del Mar heights home was sold (albiet at the inflated price) to form the down payment. So I am more inclined to believe that the wife could truly be a victim-but not these gold digging prostitutes.— April 25, 2010 5:58 p.m.

Wake Up, Speak Up
Laws are made because people are not responsible enough to use good judgment. By Ridiculous =================== Rreeeaaalllyyyyy, and just what "people" are you referring to Ridic???????? Or is everyone to you a criminal, just waiting to break the law??? Laws are made to protect and serve society, not because "people are not responsible enough to use good judgment."— April 25, 2010 5:48 p.m.

Most of them are very convincing with women, and can victimize them at will. ================= Well, taking a sucker (Fanghella) to the cleaners for $10 million (Cook) is not what most people would call being vicitmized. I think when you date people with pre-qualifications (must make X of money, must own home, fanvy car etc) then you certainly cannot call these woman (or men) victims. The women will make every claim in the book to make them look like this is not a shake down (or a form of prostitution), but it is. In the end when you start playing those games you lose the right to call yourself a victim. Reminds me of a fellow student I dated in college. We were going out for a few weeks but she NEVER paid for a thing-ever (it's not like EITHER of us had any money as students), and would make the most laughable claim I have ever heard, which was her "companionship" was what the other party received when they took her out. And that "companionship" had value (as in dinner. movie, ballgame, whatever the date was). LOL!!!! I sill get a tremendous laugh everytime I hear that whopper! Needless to say this did not last long. I wasn't buying (or paying for) what she was selling. Who knows, maybe it was Kelly Cook before she started hooking :).— April 25, 2010 3:17 p.m.

I thought Mr. Copley looked quite well next to the hosts--the Coopers--get a load of his rug.............. ================ I was going to mention how obvious his toupee was, but decided not to-but it was sad to see something so fake-almost as bad as Jan Goldsmith's rug. As for Margo-she is pretty cool. Some of you were not around a year or two ago and we were discussing some pics from Margo's website-and she actually showed up and posted here. She was a great sport. It is gossip/celeb site and I think she does a great job, mainly because she has exclusive pics tha are very high quaility. I only wish someone had snapped a few of Ms. Margo, because she is very much the eye candy.— April 25, 2010 3:04 p.m.
