Never read through an official record of court proceeding

There is a lot of red tape, it turns out

When all this is done, all these people are going to end up in prison (or on the run, as I suspect many of them are now considering).

I wonder when they will finally swoop for Sepp.

1998 was a bribe. French FA fucked.

2010 was a bribe. Everyone knew that already, it was a bribe from Germany bribes for 2006.

Blazer actually didn't want to vote for Qatar in 2022, he was gutted Warner did. So not gonna get anything juicy from that, possible kicks backs from Russia 2018 though.

Bet big money that blacked out sections relate to Blatter, Hayatou and possible Weber.

I would but the legalese is such that I am compelled to read it all.

sorry, meant the part on page 35 where the court asks if there was anything else, and it's just a giant redacted block.

I mean that's not ominous at all

Very matter of fact -- few details. I look forward to another "nothing to see here" press conference from South Africa tomorrow though

$10k as in Ten Thousand US Dollars?

Of everything he did and received, is that actually even worth mentioning?

Believe $10K is the threshold after which you need to report your foreign holdings and not the actual account balance.

It would seem that the kickbacks stopped when the MLS-owned Soccer United Marketing took over the rights. That's pretty fortunate, it would have been ugly if MLS were somehow involved.

Eh, honestly, I don't think there's anything substantive in the redacted parts. My guess is the first one had to do with future court dates (which they obviously don't want published yet) based on the unredacted last line, or just some other administrative court stuff for future proceedings. And the second big redacted part is probably just the specifics of his bond and plea deal.
