Gordon Robert Moore Gets a Failing Grade
Not much could compel public school teachers to take up arms en masse, but this story from the Denver Post just might have the necessary ingredients.
A Longmont investment adviser has pleaded guilty to swindling dozens of teachers in 11 Colorado school districts.
Gordon Robert Moore pleaded guilty for his role in an investment scam involving 141 public-school teachers, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said today.
Moore illegally transferred nearly $1.7 million from accounts with the Public Employees Retirement Association into accounts he controlled, Suthers said.
Moore pleaded guilty to felony theft, felony computer crime and felony securities fraud. He will be sentenced Feb. 26.
Burn, bastard, burn.
While I’m not the most sympathetic to the “teachers are underpaid” story that is taken with nothing resembling critical thought from otherwise intelligent people (a fact that causes crankiness in darling girl when I’m stupid enough to bring it up), this con man was stealing from those teachers’ futures. He deserves a very long sentence and to have his name remembered by Google forever. It should make for some interesting questions when he gets around to job interviews in the future.
I’m personally hoping that he has a hard time rising above the “would you like fries with that?” level of employment after his stint in jail is complete.

Scum. Bastard. Fucktard. Shitheel.
I’d go on, but I could cuss all night.
I hope this will be one of the few times when a trial lawyer stepping in and organizing a class-action suit wouldn’t make your GOP-leaning instincts cringe. Because this piece-of-shit-son-of-a-three-legged-bitch swindling asshole deserves to be forced to work three full-time jobs as a high-school assistant custodian, garbage-truck cleaner, and a fluffer in the gay porn industry after he gets out of jail just to pay his monthly lien.
Gah.
You guys should do your research a little better… While he did commit securities fraud, he didn’t actually steal any money at all, especially from teachers. He actually put their money in programs that made them more money, it just happened that he forged the school superintendent’s signature to do it. Which is illegal.
He did break the law, and for that he gets what he deserves. But, he did not steal, he didn’t even really make any money on the transactions. He just did it the wrong way.
you should make an effort to get your facts straight before you trash people.
You are wrong--utterly wrong--all the way through. Get your facts straight. He’s already pled guilty to theft which indicates that even he believes that he stole money.
And the money was taken out of PERA--the teachers’ retirement plans--and put somewhere else. He didn’t have noble goals on this, he was making money off of the transactions and doing it illegally. Not just the wrong way, but completely illegally by forging documents and advising teachers to do something that broke the law.
He deserves all the trash talk I could throw at him and more.
This blog teaches me that no one is perfect in the world.Because Money makes many.I feel very sorry about it.
