The Hits Just Keep On Coming

OK. So the latest item in the Ohio coin-fund scandal, or, as I call it, The Scandal That Keeps On Giving (TSTKOG), is that the home of a former Tom Noe employee was burglarized over the weekend.

Now ordinarily this would be no big deal, but if you've been following TSTKOG at all, you may know that this was the same home where, two weeks ago, Sheriff investigators seized thousands of bottles of wine, cigars, coins, and other items, allegedly paid for with money siphoned from the Ohio BWC coin investment fund.

The guy, Michael Storeim, said he was out of town for 2 days. They came back and found their house burglarized.

I swear to Christ you can't make this stuff up!

Personally, I think this whole thing stinks like a five-day-old roadkill. I mean, COME ON! The guy gets caught with pretty damning evidence of wrongdoing in his own home, and then, less than two weeks later, that evidence disappears!

Of course, it was stupid of the Sheriff's office to leave the wine locked up in the guy's house (check the story), but maybe that was all part of the plan as well...

Also stolen were several keys from Storeim's house, including one to his business. I wonder how fast he will change the locks...

Of course, Storeim claims the break-in was the result of all the media attention he has received. Typical. It would seem that the whole "blame the media" defense has been used by everyone from Michael Jackson to Saddam Hussein.

Think about it. Do you honestly believe this burglary was a coincidence?

If you do, I have some beautiful oceanfront property you might be interested in. Just meet me in Missoula, Montana, and I'll show it to you...
