Leave a Comment / By Shay Bottomley / May 16, 2024

A former diversity program manager at Facebook and Nike has been jailed for stealing more than $5 million in a scheme involving fake vendors, made-up paperwork, and cash kickbacks.

Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, of Marietta, Georgia, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Steven D. Grimberg to five years and three months in prison, followed by three years’ supervised release. She was also ordered to pay $5,102,838.08 to the impacted companies, the bulk of which was to Facebook.

From January 2017 to September 2021, Furlow-Smiles led Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at Facebook and was responsible for developing and executing DEI initiatives, operations and engagement programs. Her role at the company provided her access to company credit cards, and authority to submit purchase requisitions and approve invoices for authorized vendors of Facebook – a level of power she quickly abused.

Cohen admits sending lawyer fake legal cases in bid to end sentence early

Cohen, a disbarred attorney, just admitted that he sent his lawyer fake legal decisions generated by an AI tool as part of his bid to get off supervised release early in his Manhattan federal case.

Cohen claimed Thursday that he found the phony cases after using a "Google AI" tool that "created a whole bunch of phantom results because AI wants to please the user."

He then handed them to his lawyer, who included the fake rulings as fake "legal precedent" for why Cohen should be released early.

“The three cases that you gave to your lawyer were not real cases correct?" Todd Blanche asked him.

“Correct,” Cohen replied.

Cohen was busted for this late last year, and admitted that he had done it in a federal court filing.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and more Trump allies slam judge's family, Cohen in press conference
By David Spector

Rep. Matt Gaetz, Rep. Lauren Boebert and several other Donald Trump allies held a press conference outside the NYC courthouse while the ex-president's "hush money" trial was on break.

"There is no branch of government Michael Cohen has not lied to," said Gaetz (R-Fla.), "he committed these lies for his own benefit."

Gaetz went on to slam the "corrupt judge" whose "own family is making six figures off Democrat politics."

I hope your silly ass is here when it happens. I'm guessing I've done this a tad longer than you have, and understand the needs of full diversification, so that you don't lose under any scenario. 

In your case, keep throwing your cash blindly into equities and hope for the best.
