Operation Sideswipe Trial to Commence This Week
Posted by BamaCoaster on 3/3/26 at 4:21 pm
There have been threads on here for years, but nothing recently.
It's estimated, dubiously I believe, that this scam cost LA auto insurance taxpayers $600 per family. WWL Link
NEW ORLEANS — Nearly six years after former WWL Investigative reporter Mike Perlstein first exposed it, the massive federal fraud probe known as “Operation Sideswipe” is finally headed to trial. Jury selection begins Monday, with opening statements expected Tuesday, as two New Orleans attorneys accused of orchestrating staged 18-wheeler crashes — along with two men tied to the murder of a key federal witness , prepare to face a judge.

In all, 63 people have been charged in the sweeping investigation — from slammers and spotters to attorneys accused of pursuing fraudulent lawsuits.

The scheme first drew suspicion in federal civil court when judges noticed a pattern: eight nearly identical lawsuits involving 18-wheelers were halted. Five of those cases were filed by Motta, who had just graduated from law school at the time — more than any veteran attorney in the region.

This ain’t Afghanistan or Iraq.
Much more secular.
Much likelier to be as far from Islamic regime as any middle eastern country.

have to work like there’s a day we will have to fight China and in the next few years. Shipyards need to be running 24/7 365 at full capacity. Our missile and air defense production needs to increase tenfold which means new production lines need to be built. Drone production of all types as well as drone defense tech needs to have a very large budget to combat China. Artillery shell production needs to be 1.25 - 1.75 million shells per year. frick Europe since they seem to hate the U.S. because we make them pay for our weapons to go to Ukraine. The times of Europe hiding under our military umbrella is over so we have to stockpile weapons at a staggering rate over the next 5 years.
This is a retarded take.
We spend more than the next 18 countries, combined.
We’re okay.
“Defense spending” is $1 trillion ($1,000,000,000,000.00) and 13% of our budget.
We’ll be okay.
Once again, and I can’t stress this enough, is that this is a retarded take.

Awhile back it came out (maybe a rumor) that he was portraying Terrence McKenna in a movie, and Carey is known for really getting into character.
May have taken a “heroic dose”, and may never be the same.

To put this in context, that amount is 1/2 of the worlds consumption per day.
Not a meager amount, but not the end of the world.

I think human beings are designed to be free, maybe even endowed by our creator.
I think freedom is good for the soul.
And I think that if we can drop some bombs and kill guys who don’t allow freedom for their ppl, and we don’t have boots on the ground and guys in harms way, then this is a good thing.

Chalk up the $2100 to a life lesson, and move on.
Undoubtedly you’ve spent a dozen hours on this.
Bring him to small claims if you will, but it’s laughable you think any attorney would take this case.

Liverpool to London

Had to catch an early flight and trains wouldn’t have made it.
Didn’t fire the travel agent, as divorces are expensive.
