What a crook. Here's a link to the news report:


This was, IMHO, the best part of the report:

But things really took a turn Thursday when ProPublica reported that Crow’s financing of Thomas’ life of luxury was just a drop in the bucket. According to Thursday’s report, Thomas has been showered with gifts by at least three other ultra-wealthy “friends” whose combined contributions to Thomas, along with Crow, include:

at least 38 destination vacations, including a previously unreported voyage on a yacht around the Bahamas; 26 private jet flights, plus an additional eight by helicopter; a dozen VIP passes to professional and college sporting events, typically perched in the skybox; two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica; and one standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic coast.
ProPublica estimates that the total value of the trips is “likely in the millions.” Jeremy Fogel, a former federal judge who served for years on the judicial committee that reviews judges’ financial disclosures, told ProPublica he thinks the value of gifts given to Thomas is “unprecedented.”

He merits nothing but scorn.
