Kyle Whitmire is tweeting while Thomas is on the stand at Watkins trial. Makes my blood boil.

Bryan put his body on the line to earn the $1 million he "invested" with Watkins, who then used it for his personal expenses and debts. Nauseating.

Donald Watkins Crossplex has a nice ring to it.

it was a bad investment

BT is in the top 1% of people on the planet I wouldn't want to get cross ways with

If you bought the IPO, Snapchat has been a bad investment. What Watkins did to Bryan is fraud. Watkins solicited Thomas, took his money and then used it to pay off another debt. He didn't invest a dime of it and never intended to.

Hope he rots in prison.

Watkins was another one of those who was put up on a pedestal by a lot of people.

i got your point but it was still a bad investment

I heard mention of Thomas' wife/girlfriend and thought the case had something to do with his previous alleged actions.

Didn't realize that Thomas was a plaintiff against Watkins.

Condi Rice also is testifying whereas Dick Arrington somehow got immunity.

Rice roasted Watkins when he was cross-examining her this morning.

Arrington flipped.

Not surprising. Rice is one of the most intelligent people you'll come across. Watkins is a carnival barker. I imagine it was like shooting fish in a barrel.

Especially if she had the facts on her side. Watkins will likely slide, but I kinda doubt that he is actually innocent.

As Smaug says "I wouldn't let that guy hold my wallet, keys, & phone while I jumped into the pool to save a kid!".

What was BT thinking ? Watkins has always have the look of a snake oil salesman, for 30+ years on now.

He took Barkley to the cleaners, too. Fraud. Period.

Seems like the same kind of scheme that Scrushy had going on.
