Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 06 2017 03:39 PM

I knew this guy was dingbat and a scuzzbag I just didn't know precisely how until reading this. http://nypost.com/2017/09/06/wfan-host- ... ed-by-fbi/ I think he used to be a little funny but seems like his mind has been elsewhere for a long while. I know he got busted cheating on his wife several years ago.

There's something about talk radio that favors the loudly ignorant and the fiercely corrupt. But man, a Ponzi racket to cover gambling debts. That's a deep hole to wake up in every morning.

Frayed Knot Sep 06 2017 04:06 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

Never been a listener, but the sleaziness just oozed out of him to the point where if you had asked me which radio personality would be involved in a ticket ponzi scheme in order to cover heavy gambling debts the only reason Craig Carton wouldn't have been both my first and second guesses is that Sid Rosenberg is still drawing a paycheck so he would have moved down to second and third. oe: he and Francesa have had a long-running feud (at least partly real although possibly played up for spice) so now guess who gets the last laugh on his way out the door.

Carton, who was arrested at his Tribeca home, is one-half of the popular “Boomer and Carton” sports radio show on WFAN along with former Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason. The show has been on air since 2007. Curious that The Post ignores Esiason's New York Jets tenure.

d'Kong76 Sep 06 2017 04:22 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

I used to listen to them years ago, hard to believe the show [crossout:11rncxnk]is[/crossout:11rncxnk] was a decade old already. I always assumed he was a coke fiend player type. Four kids with a daddy in the the federal pen... fuck him, I hope he rots.

There's something about talk radio that favors the loudly ignorant and the fiercely corrupt. At least the ESPN guy who got busted last week for being drunk and naked in someone else's vacation condo gets to say; "Whew, I'm off the hook now"

Why was he drunk and naked in someone else's condo, or was it someone else's wife's condo?

Edgy MD Sep 06 2017 05:51 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

No, it was more like he was so blasted that he walked through the wrong door, and then drunkenly dug in when folks were all "Wtf are you doing here?" It happens, man.

Ceetar Sep 06 2017 05:52 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

I might contend if you're at a vacation condo and NOT drunk and naked you're doing it wrong.

Ashie62 Sep 07 2017 12:42 AM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

At least Dimone in Fast Times was a cool scalper.

d'Kong76 Sep 07 2017 12:54 AM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

He was the least cool guy in that movie. Geez.

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2017 12:56 AM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

And this sounds like it's a LOT more than simple ticket scalping. They're talking about him defrauding investors out of millions in a large ranging conspiracy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 07 2017 01:01 AM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

He wasn't scalping, just pretending to have a lucrative ticket biz so that other scumbags would give him $$ to pay off his gambling debts. How he got to that level ought to be interesting.

Centerfield Sep 07 2017 01:33 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

Maybe I'm not all that advanced on good fraud techniques, but fake tickets seems like the kind of thing that has like, zero chance of success. You know? If you're going to go into the fraud business, I don't know why anyone would choose anything other than televangelists. "Send me your money, I'll send you blessings." Tons of people to be had, and unlike fake tickets, fake blessings can never be proven.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 07 2017 02:01 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

Maybe they should start putting holograms on blessings, so you can know that they're authentic. I'm learning from this story that I didn't know who Craig Carton was. I thought he was Chris Carlin, from SNY.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2017 02:02 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

I don't think there were ever any fake tickets, so much as fake profits. Pay off the old investors with the new investors' money, and hope and pray that you can keep suckering people in until you finally find a casino that you aren't banned from and hit it big, or die, whichever comes first. I don't envy somebody who falls into that hole.

Big Chris Carlin. Carlin & Reese 94.1 Philly, RU Football WOR-NY

Dimone did bail his friend out with cash at the German place to pay his bill. But he did sleep with the object of Ratner's desires, knocked her up and bailed on the abortion. So, yeah Dimone was a total d-bag

I forgot about the breakfast douche, point noted.

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2017 12:58 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

So it appears that irregularities in the Tourette's "charity" that Carton ran is at least part of what tipped the Feds off. Not that he'd be the first celebrity douche whose high-profile fund-raisers did more to raise his/her own awareness than that of its stated goal. But in this case it's suspected that, instead of the usual route where the majority of the funds are eaten up by high overhead and limo rides to lure shoulder-rubbing celebrities, these were mostly funneled into the C.C. gambling debt relief effort.

The good news is, now Carton's qualified for a position in the White House!

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2017 03:24 AM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

Carton "resigns" from WFAN, just one day after saying he was determined to fight on. As if this mess was going to end any other way.

d'Kong76 Sep 14 2017 01:32 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

Was he back on the air the last few days, that would seem quite awkward? I'd think that someone up on federal corruption (or whatever they're calling it) charges would at best be on immediate leave.

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2017 01:38 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

No, has not been on the air since getting busted. But after his first public statements with the standard stuff about the charges being completely false and how he's going to return better than ever, yadda, yadda -- as if he'd be the one to decide that and not the station -- he submitted his resignation the following day.

Vic Sage Dec 05 2017 03:00 PM Re: Feds Bust WFAN Douche Craig Carton

As a broadcaster, Craig Carton was the whole package... arrogant, stupid, mean-spirited, with a voice like nails on a chalkboard. And he wasn't nearly funny enough to justify any of it. he was the biggest reason i stopped listening to FAN in the morning and switched to Mike & Mike on ESPN. OF all the assholes on the radio that i've endured over the years, he was the assholiest. This couldn't have happened to a more deserving lowlife.

Maybe only Sid Rosenberg can compete with, or even top, Carton in the asshole/lowlife department and yet Sid keeps not only landing on his radio feet but manages to fall upward while doing so.

Sorry kids, no presents this year... daddy's fb fundraising page isn't going as planned. I don't know why, I don't know the fuck from a sewer cap but this story aggravates me to the core. I hope his prison stay is as unpleasant as humanly possible.
