#BBB NEWS| Man With Bank Of America Tattoo Gets Prison Sentence For Bank Fraud [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

The New York Daily News reported that a 21-year-old member of the Eight Trey Crips gang in NYC was sentenced to 33 months in prison for check and bank fraud. What makes everything more ironic is that he had the logo for the Bank of America- one of the places he allegedly cheated- tattooed on the inside of his left elbow.

The bare chest of Gabriel Patterson, who is the son of a retired NYPD detective, was photographed for his sentencing papers, and cops were surprised to find a tattoo of the logo of one of the banks on his body. He pleaded guilty to copying the account and routing numbers off of checks.

“Indeed, he has even tattooed the logo of Bank of America, one of his victims, on the inside of his left elbow reflecting the pride he takes in his crimes,” said Allon Lifshitz, Assistant Brooklyn U.S. Attorney. “The defendant’s commitment to bank fraud is extreme.” The tattoo of the bank’s logo is the only colored tattoo pictured in the police handout of his chest.

He made the requests in two separate letters to the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.

Mr. Buhari said the external loan, the biggest in Nigeria’s history, will fund targeted projects cuts across all sectors with special emphasis on infrastructure, agriculture, health, education, water supply, growth and employment generation.

#BBB NEWS| Ray Allen To Retire From The NBA [PHOTO]

After gaining two NBA championship titles — one with the Boston Celtics and the other with the Miami Heat — Ray Allen has officially announced his retirement from pro-basketball.

In a letter to his 13-year-old self, published by The Players’ Tribune, the storied All-Star revisited his dreams of playing pro-ball to feeling restless after winning the 2013 championship.

“You lay down in bed at about five in the morning, but you just can’t sleep. Finally, around seven o’clock, you give up on sleep and creep downstairs,” Allen writes. “All your friends and family have come over to your house to celebrate — they’re all passed out on couches, sound asleep. You tiptoe around them on the way to the kitchen to make some breakfast. The sun is coming up, the house is quiet. You have achieved exactly what you set out to do. But you’re still restless.”

Allen, 41, also highlighted the fact that he played against his “heroes” Clyde Drexler and Michael Jordan, and admired his former teammates Paul Pierce, Dwayne Wade, Kevin Garnett, and LeBron James.
