No one definitively can say either way whether North is in serious trouble. I suspect that he will not be found criminally liable, but I don't know. It's reasonable to believe Mike and Bebe will have to answer some difficult questions, and this will damage North's already flailing career. Poor ratings, high salary demands, the will to exercise control over programming and, now, questionable business relationships hardly make him an attractive hire for any radio station. You return key, though, is probably in danger of exhaustion.

Hernandez is charged with pulling off a $12,000,000 Ponzi scheme.
It apparently involves all of his operations and not just the Webio like some people here think.
Webio was a very small part of the DH empire gone sour.
Do you really think that North can be in any trouble over this?
I think the Norths figured that DH was the golden goose who would lay out the big
bucks just to hang out with the media and sports stars. I think they figured they
could bleed him dry until a better, more well-established group of sponsors came along.
Isn't that the way he told it to Coppock.
I think he really believed it, especially when DH gave Comcast $275,000 to sponsor MITM.
He sure looked legit then, didn't he?
So what did North do that was illegal?
Even if he knew Hernandez served time years ago, so what?
Was North involved with the day-to-day operation of Webio? Doesn't matter.
Was North aware that the entire DH enterprise was just one big scam? I would bet not.
Is North a bad guy for recruiting guys while there was talk of financial problems? For sure.
Stupid? Yes. A bad guy? Yes. A criminal? Absoluely not.

He's in real trouble professionally. His word apparently is no good. Radio is a very small industry and he has shown that he can't be trusted, is very stupid, can no longer deliver ratings, wants way too much money and control and basically is a washed up has-been.
I think the talked has quieted down because they have all had to hire lawyers, good ones are expensive. They all realize that Webio was just a con to promote others to invest with Hernandez and they are worried about clawbacks of the excessive money they were paid and spent.

Financially, not criminally, they are all involved and should be very worried about it. This will last quite a while.

You also know Comcast wants out as fast as possible. The more this goes on, the more embarrassing it will become for them.

Steve caught part of your show Saturday. Mostly sounded like a GEICO commercial. Who was the agent you talked about and to?

North has carried himself for the last 10 years or so as a buffoon.
As much fun as I am having with this stuff, I can't imagine Hernandez telling North a damned thing about the Ponzi scheme.
What is the point, to create a witness against himself?
Hernandez and North both need their egos stroked...they need to be SOMEBODY.....
I don't think North is a criminal.....I just want to see him testify for the Government....U.S. Attorneys and Defense Attorneys in Federal Court take no prisoners....North will be shredded for his absolute naive stupidity....His "Street Smarts" will be shredded.
Hard for the "G" to portray this ego driven maniac as a victim.
He is an Officer of the Company and his wife has a ghost payroller job.....C.O.O.!
Means North is a hustler.
Doesn't prove North knew Hernandez was running a Ponzi scheme.

Great thoughts!
Here is one to speculate on -
If North had been offered a piece of the pie on the Ponzi scheme,
do you think he would have signed on to it?

Look at the whack Madoff got and he PLEADED OUT.
There is no incentive, in all probability, for Hernandez to plead out now!!!!
This means North and BeBe will testify for the Government.
This is just precious.
They have to lay out the corporate structure and how much Hernandez invested on the stand.
They have to tell the jury the offices they held and payments they received from Hernandez.
"Street Smarts" inadmissible evidence.
Great theatre!!!

The best part is they are such MINOR players in the whole deal and they will be dragged in. Lawyers are expensive, even David Spada! The best part will be when they get sued by the victims to recover money, that's coming after the government is done.

David Spada is probably a decent guy...

David Spada presumably leaves restaurants in a rush right after finishing his food, then when police apprehend him, he claims that he was never presented with a bill so he does not owe anything.

NORTH BELIEVES HIS OWN BULLSHIT....BIG MISTAKE.

Well Mac told me to to tell you to go FUCK YOURSELF!!! ..So now it's been said .. .
