Alex Rodriguez Paid Off His Cousin: Big Deal
NYDN – Hell hath no fury like a cousin scorned.
Alex Rodriguez’s infamous “Cousin Yuri Sucart” threatened to expose the Yankee superstar’s doping secrets unless the scandal-ridden slugger coughed up “enormous sums of money,” according to court papers filed last week in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Rodriguez caved, entering into a confidential settlement with Sucart on June 5, 2013, agreeing to pay Sucart one $700,000 payment for his silence, in addition to three more payments made to Sucart that totaled $200,000.
In a Dec. 18, 2012 letter, Sucart’s former attorney, Jeffrey Sonn, had demanded $5 million and a “life estate” for Sucart and his wife, according to the court papers.
Maybe I am missing something here but WHO GIVES A SHIT? I mean seriously is anyone here surprised for even a second? Of course ARod tried to pay of a guy who had dirt on him, thats why you become rich, to get people to do shit they normally wouldn’t.
The real story here is the balls on Sucart to ask for $5mil and to be set up for life. Being a stooge for ARod was literally the best possible job he could get, so where does Sucart get off being mad because he banned from baseball. It’s not like he had a great future without ARod. Look at this guy, he looks like a guy who sells blue tooth ear pieces at a shitty mall kiosk. I really want to emphasize how shitty this hypothetical mall would be. I’m talking worse than the Galleria in White Plains.
Since everyone who hates the Yankees is going to be up in arms, lets just clear the air. ARod 10000000% took steroids. Being suspended for anything more than 50 games was an abuse of power by Bud Selig because he was bitter that ARod was able to get away with it for so long. Anyone with any common sense knew this punishment was going to be bad, so ARod did the smart thing and tried to buy silence. If Arod didn’t try to buy everyone off, I would be up in arms because then he wouldn’t care enough to try. Not one single person has become successful without lying and manipulating people, and if you don’t know that, you are probably a loser with no future.
