Exhausted*...

A young Swedish woman who sued her former Wall Street executive boss over lurid allegations of sexual conquest, betrayal and stalking was awarded $18 million by a federal jury.

Hanna Bouveng, 25, accused Benjamin Wey, a Chinese-born American Wall Street financier, and CEO of New York Global Group, in an $850 million lawsuit of using his power as owner of the Group to coerce her into four sexual encounters before firing her after discovering she had a boyfriend.

Bouveng, who was raised in Sweden, testified that soon after Wey hired her, the CEO began a relentless quest to have sex with her. She says he fired her six months later after she refused any more sexual contact and he found a man in her bed in the apartment he helped finance.

Wey, 43, also sought to defame Bouveng by posting articles on his blog accusing her of being a "street walker," a "loose woman" and an extortionist, her lawyers say.

Wey walked into a Stockholm cafe in April 2014 where she was working a few months after she was fired from Global Group, her attorney told jurors. "The message was: 'Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I am going to find you and I am going to get you," Ratner said.

The married financier denied ever having sex with Bouveng. He portrayed her as an opportunist. Wey testified that Bouveng knew nothing about finance before he hired and began mentoring her. She betrayed his generosity by embracing a party-girl lifestyle that left her too exhausted to succeed.  Apparently she did... Just a thought.

Tacos*...

Two masked robbers entered a Taco restaurant and ordered three employees to lie on the floor. Police say three other employees pulled out handguns and opened fire, shooting one of the suspects six times. The other suspect ran off.

The Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Medical Examiner's Office said the man killed was 24-year-old De'Carlo Jackson.  Investigators say Jackson was found with a loaded gun in his hand. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

No one has been arrested. The employees who opened fire are said to be two 19-year-old men and a 23-year-old man. A Taco Bell spokeswoman told Cleveland.com the company is "shocked" by the shooting and is offering counseling to employees.

Anger...

Andrew “Amazon” Cuomo appears to have fully embraced the anger phase of his process of grieving the loss of Amazon’s would-be HQ2 headquarters in Queens.

Speaking with WAMC’s  on The Roundtable, the New York governor called the incident “the greatest tragedy that I have seen since I have been in government,” a comment that did not exactly resonate well with New Yorkers given Cuomo’s been in government for decades. (The Democrat and Chronicle reported that Cuomo’s “office later clarified he was referring to government failure, not human tragedies.”)

The mayor slammed the company’s move as “the 1 percent dictating to everyone else even though we gave them a fair deal,” an eyebrow-raising response that, as the New York Times noted, comes as de Blasio may be considering a run for president.

*When did these two politicians agreed on any thing? These two allowed the deterioration and neglect of the large projects that touches people's lives, NYSHA, MTA, Subway System, Congestion Pricing, Overbuilding of towers, Nightmare traffic when snowing 6 inches and up?

Empire...

I am a victim, I am a victim.....  

Stuff...

This time around, all the Democratic hopful are running on the same platform. Free stuff.

Fleecing...

The gimmicks that the politicians played with the Amazon deal ...…. for it or against.

Those who were for it like Governor Andrew Amazon Cuomo, did it quickly and secretly, adding a new congestion for his fleecing of America taxes of congratulation pricing.

Thank God he didn't offer Amazon  Central Park West, may be they are keeping it for the next best ...

Mainstream*...

The Media is, mostly, out for the ratings, or basically the money.
If criticizing the president works, they are for it regardless. That's what they themselves say. Just a thought.

Bernie Sanders is back, All copy cats must step aside.
