The Tennessean:

Financial adviser Barry R. Stokes, who has pleaded guilty to stealing $19 million from victims' retirement plans, spent part of his time in jail making voodoo dolls of financial victims and sticking pins in them to ward off their damaging testimony, according to evidence presented this morning in a federal court hearing.

That could be the reason that all botanicas in my barrio ran out of gris gris in July. I got people in the swamps sending me fine gris gris now. If you want good gris gris-you got to buy it at the source. Look, you get a wholesale price & your vecinos will buy anything you got left over at double what they paid for gris gris at the botanica.
Check out la Botanica de nuestro Angeles & nuestro Senora, la Madre de Jesus for Junio 15, 2009. People will gladly pay 5 times that price, ahora, en oro, ni plata.

At least he is sticking little dolls nowadays instead of actual people.

This shows he has not learned a thing or taken responsibility. Therefore, no early parole for him!

The article fails to mention if it worked?

And how do you get pins in prison?

Maybe Michelle Bachmann can do some fasting and put in a good word with Jesus on behalf of Barry, who seems to have embraced voodoo Reaganomics in its most literal form.

It almost makes it look like making Voodoo dolls is something that should raise suspicions. After all, anybody doing that might be a Ponzi schemer - who knows!

They wave a copy of "Atlas Shrugged" to ward off leftist spirits.

It's not working.

That is NOTHING!

Wall Street Banks DO NOT WANT Homeowners to SUCCEED!

Wall Street Banks and their Hedge Fund Managers make OUTRAGEOUS PROFITS on FORECLOSURES as they own "MASSIVE and REPETITIVE CASINO BETS" that your mortgage will fail!

They want you to FAIL so they get the BIG PAY0FF!
__________­__________

There EV1L STEPS:

Make Loans to FAIL!

Bet the loans WILL FAIL!

Collect on Bets!
_______________

Add in Derivatives and it is “MANUFACTURED INSIDER TRADING” by Wall Street Banks and their Hedge Funds!

VooDoo? It's about time someone brought the subject up! Take a look at your paper money. Voodoo written all over it!

Haha, this is too much. You want to know what really works, Barry? Give them the old electrical hands gesture. WARD AWAY THAT EVIL!

Sorry pal, you deserve whatever judgment you get (which I'm sure, won't be enough).

I am no expert on the subject of voodoo, but I'm pretty sure that you cannot use it for forces of ill intent.
So, whoever was taking this guy's credit card number was ripping him off.
Heh.
That would be karma, wouldn't it? :)

As I understand it, you can--if you don't mind it coming back. Almost all belief systems have some kind of built-in karma, including the best-known in West... "As you sow, so shall you reap." But I also understand that voodoo only works if the victim is susceptible to the one with the pins, and I THINK those folks are kind of closed to his influence now.

Only if she gave him $19 million worth of advice and charged it to his AmEx.
