After a brief hiatus last week, Right Awn! Friday is back, jack. The Right Awn! steering commitee was hard pressed to find any thing to write awn last week, and we were worried that maybe we were losing steam.
But fear not, because Sacramento never disappoints, and came up big this week. We had the old prospector who removed little Buddha heads from the American River, and then got himself arrested. Then, we had little Josephine Kao, who took first in the California Central Valley Spelling Bee competition, and now is going to the nationals in DC. Good on both of them!
While they were certainly Right Awn! worthy, another candidate emerged and took the props, just on sheer dollar value. Please set your phones on vibrate, and find out who takes the honor this week…
Congratulations are in order to Folsom’s Timothy Mattos, who singlehandedly owes Verizon Wireless a bill of $21 million dollars.
Why? Here’s the entire story, in CBS13’s in-depth four-liner style:
A 34-year-old man has been ordered to repay his former employer, Verizon Wireless, $21 million dollars.
Timothy Mattos of Folsom pleaded guilty to bilking the company of that amount in prepaid calling time.
Court records say Mattos stole half a million PIN numbers and resold them. He also has to give back a fleet of vehicles, including a Hummer H2.
Man, you even took the company Hummer? Dude, you got some cojones. And though you got caught, we gotta give you yours. With cell phone in hand, we raise our fist to you, Timothy Mattos. RIGHT AWN!
