‘Professional Thief’ who Scammed Laseks is Sentenced to 15 Years
Bucky Lasek big heart, big indy to fakie in Vegas
It appears the modern day wild west of the east known as Baltimore city, has some hope for justice after all. The land of the lawless has seen the scales tilt in the correct direction twice in as many months. First it was the now infamous Officer “Don’t Call Me Dude” Rivieri getting fired and loosing his pension just two years short of his 20 years on the job for his abuse and assault of a 14 year old skater. Now one of the lowest types of scammers who pulled a long con on Bucky and Jen Lasek and duped many others by faking cancer has gotten her due and proper. Check the story from The Baltimore Sun.

Woman sentenced to 15 years in cancer scam
Judge calls Dina Leone a ‘professional thief,’ orders her to pay $14,000 in restitution
A 38-year-old Rosedale woman who falsely claimed she was dying of cancer, and who a prosecutor said “ripped off person after person” to pay for nonexistent treatments, was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in prison by a judge who called her a “professional thief.”
Dina Perouty Leone, a former real estate agent whose license was revoked in 2007 for unrelated offenses, was ordered to pay restitution of $14,090 to two of her victims, each of whom had lost a parent to cancer before they went to Leone’s aid.
Leone, who had astonished investigators with her lack of remorse and combative nature when they first interviewed her last year, was contrite and tearful Thursday before the judge, and said she had found religion.
“I didn’t know I had a problem until this came up,” Leone said. “It’s not easy for me because I don’t know right from wrong all the time. I just need a chance.” (more…)

Appleyard Flipped Off
The Flip off regarding Mark Appleyard’s move to Element?
There is a bit head scratching as to what exactly what the message is that being sent from the Flip team to element and to Volcom.
Geoff Rowley and David Gonzalez are both sponsored by Volcom. (Volcom is a publicly traded clothing company and as corporate as they come.) Appleyard is also a Volcom rider. The finger seems pointed at Appleyard but maybe its pointed at back at Volcom. The post has been scrubbed from the Flip site after it made the rounds over the web. One big joke, traditional anti corporate trashing and name calling for publicity my the man, 10th grade jealousy or all of the above? You decide.

PLG Mag Minute
Forget what you think you know about “vert” skaters. In this new Mag Minute PLG shows his power is not limited to the U shaped ramps. 720′s like this one at the ISF Invitational are what usually come to mind when you think of Pierre. After you watch this clip with some sick street action you may think twice before clowning a vert skater.
