What the most expensive fine you have recieved

x2. WTF did you do seabass???

 

An old theft charge from about 14 years ago.

 

Wtf did you aquire? And that is a pretty high interest rate IMO

 

It's zero interest, actually. $100k was just the insurance deductible, the rest was written off. At the time, it was $680k in product but with gold's current price it would have been over $4.5M in today's currency. I think I got a good deal.

 

Holy fuck db cooper.

 

I count my blessings every day.

 

Damn $4.5 million in gold

 

I would too

 

im confused as shit. . .seabass, you robbed a couple million dollars worth of gold 14 years ago and now it's costing you 200 dollars a month?

 

Well mine seems less terrible. I had to pay a little over $2,500 to the shithole county of Abbeville, AL. I was headed to PCB so do the math

 

Drunk driving at 28 years old, did about $6k damage to my 97 Olds Achieva.

Between attorney, insurance surcharge (major accident plus the OUI), drunk classes, fines, getting my license back, and having to spend $15 a day on the train to still get to work for 6 months..$15000 plus.

Anyone want to ask why I don't drink anymore?

 

Why don't you drink anymore?

 

Because of the $$ it cost, although that's the least of it..not having my freedom for 6 months killed me, plus having to look at my car all bashed in. That and I just didn't feel like risking my life and the lives of others.

 

Steal $680k in gold/platinum 14 years ago (gold was barely $300/oz at that time)
Get indicted
Get charged 2 months before statute of limitations is up
Case was very weak but didn't want to risk jail
Cut deal to stay out of jail
Pay restitution of $100k at a rate of $200 per month
Benefits of having spotless record and coming clean

 

Good call

 

Sorry if this is nosy or whatever... Im just curious of what you did exactly? Did you just do it like mark wahlberg in the italian job?

 

Much less glamorous I'm afraid.

 

$250 for 68mph in a 45, in a construction zone. This was in Oklahoma, where state law says if no workers are present (and there weren't) it's not legally a construction zone. Cop got me *just* inside city limits, where there is an extra fee for being in a construction zone regardless if workers are present.

Beyond that, $65 for 77 in a 65 in NM. I had a devil-may-care moment when the cop asked why I was going so fast. He must have gotten a chuckle from my story, because there's an additional $10 fee for being more than 10 over but he wrote the ticket for being 9 over to avoid the fee. That was cool.

$110 for "assured clearance distance ahead" just a couple weeks ago. Got in a little fender bender turning left out of a parking lot, looked right again to double check that I was still clear and in the meantime a car stopped in front of me to make a turn. Oops. Just got my Tacoma out of the shop, actually.

And a couple written warnings, one verbal warning. All for speed. Got my car searched once, my buddy I was with ran into an old high school buddy at the bar and he was thoroughly pickled so he asked if I could drive him to where he was staying. That happened to be a meth house (I had no idea, I didn't live in that town), and the cops saw me drive out of there, pulled me over and proceeded to be complete pricks. You know what I learned that night? Let the bastard drive home drunk, it's not my problem.

 

Got a $125 fine for failure to turn my bumper lights off when approaching traffice. Citation said I was illigaly using my offroad lights. Wouldnt have bee on the road on but the pragnant wife wanted a Whataburger. Had to drive out of state and was 10 min from getting back home at 03:00 in the morn
