I love how it's totally legal for the governor of Florida to send lucrative drug testing contracts to his wife's owned company but a guy getting a few stock options from a client is illegal.
I guess we'll just go back to big wads of cash in an envelope instead.
- jounker 5y agoFlorida is a state in which white collar criminals form a powerful voting bloc.
- bumby 5y agoI had to look that up because I’m not familiar with the story, but it seems illegal in most other states. This Netflix case, by contrast, is federal. Still makes the Gov. actions seem sketchy
- wombatpm 5y agoFlorida politics is sketchy be definition as they are an outgrowth of representing 'Florida Man'

- bumby 5y agoYou know “Florida Man” is really just an outcome of Florida criminal records being open and creating an availability bias, right? If other states had open records, there’d be much more fodder to create a “Wisconsin Man,” “California Man” etc.
