All tag results for 'fined'

Antoine Winfield of the Minnesota Vikings was fined by the NFL this week over the height of his socks.

The price? A whopping $10,000.

For socks!? Ridiculous!

If they're going to fine them over something like that, the least they could do is use that money to buy clothes for those who are less fortunate.

Ridiculous!

On Wednesday, 7 amateur male models and a female makeup artist in Sudan were convicted of indecency after police accused them of wearing and applying makeup at the Sudanese Next Top Model Fashion Show held back June.

A lawyer for the group explained:

"The court thought that they were indecently dressed … The judge thought that wearing makeup could be offensive for men and allowing a woman to put makeup on men was against the law."

Seriously!?

Rather than the maximum punishment of 40 lashings, the judge ordered all eight to pay a fine of 200 Sudanese pounds or roughly $85 USD for the offense.

Thoughts???

Ouch!

Will Ferrell and Larry David have both not only lost an $18 million arbitration case against JPMorgan, but were in return fined $634,000 for "discovery abuse and failure to comply with the forum's discovery rules!"

The two funnymen were aiding business manager Matt Lichtenberg in his case against the brokerage firm, claiming "unathorized and unsuitable purchases of unspecified preferred securities," but the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which handles their complaints, ruled against them!

In FINRA's decision letter, they explained:

"After three motions to compel discovery by [JPMorgan] and three orders from the panel, [members of Lichtenberg's team] were still supplying ordered documents on the afternoon of the second day of the evidentiary hearing."

David and Ferrell must also pay $600,000 to JPMorgan for legal fees and $12,000 for arbitration costs.

Double ouch!

Oops!

Bar Refaeli has gotten herself into some trouble with the law again. Thankfully this time it's nothing too major like bailing on her taxes!

The supermodel was making her way through customs in the Tel Aviv airport when she was busted for not declaring her new iPad.

Bar claims she didn't declare it on her form because she was only their for a brief commercial appearance.

Dumb!

Now she is required to pay $170 in taxes and fines to get it back.

Bet she won't do that again!
