Sirius XM radio host Warren Ballentine INDICTED!!! DAMN!!!

A lot of DU'ERS on here probably don't know who this radio host is but he tries to help the average person get out of debt and speaks HIGHLY negative on the government screwing the poor and working class people especially African Americans . I'm not surprised that they went after Warren he's a lawyer and a damn good one so I hope he gets out of this shit.But you know how the feds are they will indict a ham sandwich and convict it. http://www.chicagodefender.com/index.php/news/city/15893-radio-host-lawyer-warren-ballentine-indicted

Especially his calls for people to contribute to that fund he was trying to organize. I haven't listened in a while, but he was constantly asking callers to send him money. Yet I never heard him get specific about what it would be used for - he was so vague about it, I did find it to be a little suspicous. While there's nothing wrong with that on the surface, I got the impression that if the plan ever got rolling, some of the money would inevitably find its way to his personal accounts. That was just a hunch, of course.

And then there's this:

on Wall Street, he would have nothing to worry about - safe haven. I know nothing about him, but it is no surprise that the feds are trying to silence him.
