Last year, a story broke that had a little something for everyone – where by “everyone” you’re referring to “incurious, uncritical consumers of shabby information”.<\/p>\n

It involved a professor from the University of MInnesota, Dr. Massoud Amin.\u00a0 \u00a0Amin was convicted<\/a> of “Theft by Swindle” for, it was alleged, concealing funds from his soon-to-be ex wife during a nasty divorce.<\/p>\n

We’ll come back to that.<\/p>\n

The story got liberals exercised because Amin was a gun collector<\/a> (with, dare I say, a penchant for finding bargains).\u00a0 \u00a0That is a classic dog whistle for the left.<\/p>\n

And the media coverage of his divorce proceedings – including the swindle allegations – were decidedly unsympathetic.<\/p>\n

Sentencing in his trial is scheduled for November 9.<\/p>\n

The client is obviously guilty – right?<\/p>\n

Not so fast.\u00a0\u00a0And according to sources with close knowledge of the case, the charges and conviction are well beyond a miscarriage of justice; they were the tip of an iceberg of shenanigans – borne of malice up against incompetence at best, cynical ambition at worst, all\u00a0 slathered with a layer of legalism.<\/p>\n

And when you peel back the onion, you still have something for everyone – among critical thinkers, this time:<\/p>\n
