• The Swiss Federal Office of Justice said the officials were arrested pending extradition to the US on suspicion of receiving bribes totalling $100m. The New York Times reported that the charges arising from an FBI inquiry include wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering, with the US Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch due to hold a news conference later on Wednesday.

thoughts on this cool thing that happened and owns:

  • lol the swiss extradition treaty with the US excludes tax crimes
  • team america, world police
  • international soccer, the most racist sport, is being owned by a black president and a black female attorney general
  • USA upset about not getting a world cup bid in favor of Qatar and (!) Russia/Putin (!)
  • warning shot for the IOC on torpedoing the most recent US bids in favor of Rio and Tokyo
  • this owns and I can't stop laughing
  • if some country does this to bush and cheney in retaliation that would be the end of comedy

Oh no. Those poor bastards. 5 years in a minimal security prison with tennis courts and HBO and organic food. They'll get to keep their millions or billions and direct business from their comfortable studio cell.

I know it's popular thought to consider the relative luxury of a minsec prison to be bullshit, but if you know how particular the 1% is, this really will be like hell on earth for them.

I mean it's an organisation that takes enough bribes to nearly hold a football tournament in the Middle East in the middle of summer, which they've now graciously toned back to holding in the Middle East during the important bit of all the domestic leagues (nice one FIFA).

As I understand it these fuckers are literally the 1%, and the US using the FBI hammer to steal freeze a bunch of assets and jail some entitled fucks is a beautiful story.
