Excerpt:
Prosecutors highlighted “about $10,000 — $8,000 in U.S. dollars and then $2,000 in foreign currency that was found on his person,” CNN correspondent Danny Freeman said following the court hearing.
“Also they said that he had a Faraday bag,” which blocks cell signals, a move that prosecutors alleged marked “an indication of criminal sophistication and reason they should hold him on bail,” Freeman continued.
After prosecutors made the claims, Mangione said he would like to “correct two things.”
“I don’t know where any of that money came from — I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication,” the suspect said in a statement that suggested police framed him.
I’ve got a Faraday bag and foreign currency as well lol
You criminal fuck, get out of here.
That’s sophisticated criminal fuck, my good sir, sophisticated!
quietly removes Egyptian pound bill from wallet
I live in Canada. I have a couple of US $ bills lying around. Does that make me a criminal?
YES! You make me sick.
And I’ll pay out the nose to be healed but not trust the cure thank you! That’s my right!
Have you not listened to Canadian politicians, watched what they do? Literally everyone that is not one of them is a criminal, and they make sure of it. You can’t go a day without breaking 7 or 10 laws, you just hope not to gather attention. They let firearms license renewals submitted in the proper timeframe take 8 months to renew (not issue) so for 6 months a man can sit with a house with several “illegal” firearms hoping the RCMP aren’t bored enough to spin by. They came up with this crooked scam to “relieve” of us the GST for two months starting tomorrow, but because of the politicking and the canada post strike, no one knows what is and isn’t now exempt, normally people with a GST number get a letter in the mail clearly describing the deal. No, you can’t just go by the federal websites. They’re all bullshit and lies, you need to go by CRA letters you have in your hand, and you need those for proof later. I’m in a good situation, as my business, i simply set my prices accounting for GST, and add up everything GST applies to that I sold the end of the month, do the math on that number, send the feds a check, so I don’t have to fuck with any of my prices, just say that I’ve decided to increase my prices by 5 percent for the period, I can do that if I want. Nobody wants to see a bar suddenly make everything that was even numbers become 5.45 for a beer, 5.52 for a rye. This is probably criminal too, increasing my prices 5 percent to save an accounting headache. What sort of absolute fucking idiot does something like this on that short notice to buy goodwill? Everyone knows Trudeau is done no matter what, this narcissistic death spiral is pathetic. Just like everything the last 6 years, he does not care one bit what it does to anyone. I’m sorry, this ain’t really a reply to you, more a frustration rant i feel people need to see.
