Remember Vincent McCrudden? He’s the guy who arrested last month after years spent threatening to murder, among others, Mary Schapiro, Richard Ketchum, Gary Gensler and various other SEC and CFTC officials (and previously had a section of his website asking people to help him “execute” the plan). In one email to a CFTC staffer he wrote, “You fucking corrupt piece of shit! I have let so many of you fucking corrupt mother fuckers off the hook for doing this to my life. You my friend are not getting away with this. I am going to do this my way no and you, you corrupt mother fucking piece of shit are the first on my list! laugh mother fucker…I am going to make you a test case!” In another, vivid imagery involving a midget was used. Anyway, Vince isn’t liking it in jail so much and yesterday his lawyer, Bruce Barket, filed a motion to get him out, using two ironclad arguments for why his client doesn’t pose a threat.
Argument number one: Yeah, he sounds like a dangerous lunatic in all his emails but he’s been writing those things for years and has never made good on his threats.
“In the dozen or more years he has been writing and speaking to the industry in this manner, [McCrudden] has never taken a single step to harm anyone,” Barket wrote in papers filed in Brooklyn federal court.
Argument number two: the one email that allegedly went too far? In which McCrudden said he was going to hire professional hitmen to torture and kill a high-ranking official at the National Futures Association? That wasn’t him! Someone else wrote that email and here’s how McCrudden’s lawyer can tell.
In his motion, Barket said he doubts that his client wrote the violent e-mail, adding that McCrudden’s past letters have been peppered with expletives.
“It lacks the vulgarity that is littered in all of his other writings,” Barket wrote. “[McCrudden] doesn’t string together more than half a sentence before he uses the ‘F’ word, the ‘MF’ word, the ‘C’ word, something.”
Missing the “Was that wrong / should I not have done that?” tag.
to be a camera in that guy’s jail cell
This guy is pure class, from head to toe, I tells ya. PURE CLASS.
Lohan, are you taking note?
With a capital “K”

Hell of a defense: “Your honor, my client couldn’t have written this death threat; it’s not angry enough.”
I wonder if he is like that at home: “strip bitch or else.”
I wonder if he talks to his cellmate in that fashion

You guys are genius’ You ever think he’s getting set up? A story in the paper yesterday said some guy actually shot someone and got bail. There’s a bigger story here and like typical morons you’re not reading between the lines… get out of you’re juvenile “bubba” jokes and start thinking… what aren’t we being told here. You’re hearing one side and you’re all convinced he’s guilty. Wake up morons…
Why aren’t you guys in the Commodity and Futures industry being more aggressive? This guy is taking one for your team. This isn’t about the emails…and you know it.
The game needs to change and none of you have his back?
Soldiers fight side by side in order to protect each other, advance and win. This guy has been fighting on his own and now their framing him on an email and not giving him bail. People with guns that have plotted against the President get bail…there was a guy last week that shot someone and got bail. Check out the stories at: http://www.HelpVinMc.com
Alone, it’s almost an impossible fight, but if you all start talking they can’t put you all in jail or discredit you like they tried to do with Judge Painter:

Come on guys take advantage of this opportunity…all these things are tied together.. Madoff..JP Morgan…Goldman… and they are going to get more power? Start talking before it’s too late.
