Last Monday, July 10, Dinardo was arrested on an unrelated charge of illegally possessing a shotgun and ammunition stemming from a February offense.

HBO’s new film, The Wizard of Lies, has Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro playing Bernie Madoff: The infamous former stockbroker who pleaded guilty to 11 felony counts in 2009, led his own son to commit suicide, ruined the lives of thousands and did it all with a “fatherly persona” that made one think he could be trusted.

The despicable con man is currently serving a 150-year prison sentence for essentially destroying the lives of thousands of people, including those of his family.

Creepy clown sightings have been reported in Ohio, South Carolina, North Carolina, California, Wisconsin, and Georgia, causing fear and panic to many communities. Are these “clowns” just pranksters? Or is something more serious going on?

“It’s illegal, it’s dangerous, it’s inappropriate, it’s creating community concern,” said Greenville, SC police chief, Ken Miller.

Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey was recently indicted by the Justice Department on 14 corruption counts. It is alleged that the senator intervened on the behalf of a Florida doctor’s business interests in return for lavish gifts and money over as many as 20 years.

While it may be surprising that a prominent politician would potentially put him or herself in such a position, it is not exactly uncommon.
