      From: usteen@asdf.fi              Oregon's Shannon Egeland was given a 10-year prison sentence for       orchestrating large-scale mortgage fraud as vice-president of Desert       Sun Development company. The day before he was due to report to       federal prison, he was wounded in a 'random' roadside shooting that       required his leg to be amputated. It later emerged that he'd ordered       his teenaged son to shoot him, in order to delay the sentence and       benefit from a disability insurance policy. Shannon, 41, has since       pleaded guilty to federal charges of willful failure to pay child       support and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The latter included       lying to the insurance company about his arrest record, which runs the       gamut from the mortgage fraud, at tens of millions of dollars, to $9 in       shoplifting.               Shannon Egeland from Oregon ~ ran, on one leg. Feds: "Hang, moron!"       or        Oregon's Shannon Egeland = "Gonna shed one leg!" Son ran.              There are plenty of other words in there, such as 'loans' and 'gaol'.                     --       A n n a S h e f l - For email, substitute 'usenet' for its anagram        - "Never eat more than you can lift." --Miss Piggy -        alt.anagrams FAQ: http://theanna.org/grams/        Weird news archive and more: http://theanna.org/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
