Re: Randy Imposter STILL at it
It says 16 years for impersonating Randy, but as the article states, he was using his status as "Randy Meisner" to solicit "donations" for a charity - and he was taking as much as he could get from his victims. He did this to multiple people. Who knows how many thousands of dollars he conned people out of. That's stealing, plain and simple, and you can get 16 years for that, easy.
I think that guy is probably mentally unstable. Scary.
Re: Randy Imposter STILL at it
Funny quote from Randy about the horrid imposter that caused so much trouble.
Quote:
"I consider myself ugly," said Meisner, "but this guy is pretty darn ugly."
And poor Randy being confronted by a woman with an ice pick. :fear: Yikes!

Re: Randy Imposter STILL at it
I had to check the original Nov 1997 San Francisco Chronicle article before I could believe Randy actually referred to himself as ugly. He did. Something very wrong with the mirrors in his house :)
Re: Randy Imposter STILL at it
I was going to say the same thing, does he not look in the mirror?! :grin:
Re: Randy Imposter STILL at it
I took it as Randy half-joking. He's such a sweet guy he couldn't cut down the imposter without taking a jab at himself too.
(I looked to see if that Chronicle article was already linked here and I didn't find it. I went with the book since it mentioned the article anyway).
