      Is that a meeting of Anthony and his Crew at Satriale’s Meat Market or of the charter founder and his CMO administrators and school principals? Same idea, different rackets.

    He was sentenced to only 41 months for tax evasion and fraud? It should have been longer than the longest sentence Atlanta educators got for changing answers on student tests back in 2015.

    “Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter gave three of the 11 educators convicted in the scandal 20-year sentences, with seven years to be served in prison and the rest on probation. Five educators received five-year sentences, with two ordered to serve two years in prison and three to serve one year.Apr 14, 2015”

    His first prison sentence made him a better criminal. I’ll give him this: The former optometrist’s “integrated visual learning” thing apparently works for at least him. He visually learned about being a better criminal at Club Fed. He must’ve watched his fellow inmates cheat at poker — and Monopoly on the “inside”. He didn’t learn about optics, though.

    Maybe they can get actor Bryan Cranston to play the devious criminal role of Stephen Ingersoll in the Netflix series “Escapades of a convicted charter school founder”

        Plot: a respected optometrist gets cancer and carries out fraudulent charter schemes to (allegedly) get money “for his family”, but in the end, we find out that he really does it because he “likes it and is good at it”.

      I would watch that!!!
      Love me some Walter White, Heilemann, LBJ (as in “All the Way”), Malcolm in the Middle’s dad (one of B.C.’s greatest roles, IMO, for which he should’ve won MANY Emmys), etc.

        Sorry: the name of White’s “Bad” was, of course, Heisenberg.

        I used to enjoy Heilemann baked goods in the days of yore.
