- 1:27Speaker 3: There's so many things that discussed me about this story.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Number one, you stole all this money from people who
- 1:33Speaker 3: needed it.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Folks needed that COVID protective gear during COVID and you.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Just stole it. Okay, you just stole the money for it,
- 1:40Speaker 1: all right, a man who didn't need it. Okay, you're
- 1:42Speaker 1: a lawyer.
- 1:43Speaker 3: You sixty two years old, Brian, so you were in
- 1:45Speaker 3: your fifties when you came up with this game, because
- 1:47Speaker 3: what was COVID was six years ago.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:49Speaker 3: I don't understand people who literally have the world in
- 1:52Speaker 3: their hands. You have worked hard to become an attorney
- 1:55Speaker 3: in this country. Okay, You, more than a lot of people,
- 1:58Speaker 3: understand the process of life. You understand life is a process.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Becoming a lawyer takes at least seven years of full
- 2:07Speaker 3: time higher education in this country, all right, four years
- 2:09Speaker 3: for a bachelor's degree, three years of law school.
- 2:12Speaker 1: You have to pass the bar exam. They got a
- 2:14Speaker 1: baby bar and the big bar.
- 2:16Speaker 3: My point is, it's not easy, and nothing in life
- 2:19Speaker 3: worth having ever is. But for some reason, you thought
- 2:21Speaker 3: you could cut the line. You thought you could take
- 2:23Speaker 3: a four point four million dollars short cut, all to
- 2:26Speaker 3: impress a woman who already has her own money. He
- 2:31Speaker 3: was dating the then CEO of Aston's group. Her name
- 2:36Speaker 3: was doniye Zina. Okay, that's according to the New York Post.
- 2:38Speaker 3: I don't know how much she was making, but if
- 2:40Speaker 3: she was the CEO of a company, she was touching
- 2:42Speaker 3: some paper. So I don't know why you went out
- 2:44Speaker 3: of your way, Brian, to impress her. And I don't
- 2:47Speaker 3: even like that phrase. Fund the romance. You don't fund
- 2:52Speaker 3: the romance. Romance happens because of physical attraction, emotional connection,
- 2:58Speaker 3: situational factors.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Okay, y'all, my just match energies. All right, you like the.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Same things, share the same beliefs, and let's not forget
- 3:04Speaker 3: the most important part, reciprocal liking.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Okay, you like me, I like you. Romance can't be funded.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Now you can go buy some pink taco with some money,
- 3:15Speaker 3: all right, go to the bottle pull up in certain
- 3:17Speaker 3: counties at a brothel and you can purchase as much
- 3:19Speaker 3: as that Harry Potter as you want. But funding a romance, nah,
- 3:24Speaker 3: I don't even want no romance that's fundy, because there's
- 3:26Speaker 3: no such thing. You can't buy a love food. Now,
- 3:29Speaker 3: Brian was in the courtroom crying his ass off. I
- 3:31Speaker 3: want you to hear this again, man, just listen.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I did this crunch.
- 3:40Speaker 3: I understand. I really appreciated response, legion, But ultimately, sir, right,
- 3:51Speaker 3: ultimately what ultimately what he is going to jail for
- 3:56Speaker 3: six years. I respect that he's holding himself accountable. Okay,
- 3:58Speaker 3: he said he did these crimes. He said he deserves to.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Go to jail. Now.
- 4:02Speaker 3: His defense lawyer, Eric Franz, claimed to the court that
- 4:05Speaker 3: Brian had run into financial struggles and that he was
- 4:08Speaker 3: just trying to help his family with the stolen funds.
- 4:10Speaker 3: With assistant da Jonathan Borrow alleged that Brian stole the
- 4:13Speaker 3: money to spend on himself and his galpal doing hes
- 4:16Speaker 3: in they listen.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Neither one of those valid reasons.
- 4:19Speaker 3: So many people are having financial struggles, and sadly they
- 4:22Speaker 3: don't have the luxury of resorting the crime to get it. Okay,
- 4:25Speaker 3: And you, Brian, were in a privileged position already, not
- 4:28Speaker 3: just the privileged position to get money because you were
- 4:30Speaker 3: a lawyer, you know what I'm saying, but also a
- 4:33Speaker 3: Manhattan real estate attorney should be able to get his
- 4:37Speaker 3: hands on some happy clam but nope, Instead, you gotta
- 4:40Speaker 3: guard your balloon. Not for the next six years in
- 4:43Speaker 3: somebody's prison. Okay, probably get ass warts and for what.
- 4:48Speaker 3: The moral of the story is, life is a matter
- 4:50Speaker 3: of choices, and every choice you make makes you Please
- 4:54Speaker 3: give Brian McKinnon the sweetest he the big the sweetest,
- 4:57Speaker 3: the sweet hout of the Hamilton's.
