Comments on: Sypher Charged with Extortion, Lying

It’s clear from the FBI agent’s affidavit that there are no credible charges against Pitino. Sypher failed the FBI’s polygraph and told them three conflicting stories (making the perjury case a lock). The FBI clearly believe her claims are lies; they refused to even include them in the charging document. And Greg’s correct–the feds don’t like it when you lie to them and they don’t take a plea unless they get something. Sypher’s only prayer is if the U.S. attorney decides that her first lawyer–the guy who allegedly shuttled an extortion claim to Pitino–is a bigger fish and she agrees to plea to all charges and testify against him. She’ll still do time, but less time.

When you lie to the FBI, you can’t settle that out of court.

I expect this to be settled out of court. It would be in nobody’s best interest to see this go before a judge. If Ms Sypher is smart, she’ll listen to her attorney on this point and cop a plea. Maybe get a year probation with no jail time.

No one really knows the specifics about this entire case. There have been rumors on top of rumors and then more. It is going to come out probably in the court case in the next court date or the official trial.

So to sit around and pass judgment on everything is a bit of a moot point. Certain people in here are pretty much idiots Louisville style and it shows why this city is going backwards. These are some of your fine local citizens which is the breeding for the fools that run around here with their heads cut off like a chicken

Does anyone know what the allegations really are?

I heard that the criminal allegations revolve around a 2003 incident involving Ms. Sypher and a young male.

My reliable sources tell me that a young male cook at Rally’s was stuck and seriously injured by a SUV being driven by Ms. Sypher. Sypher alleges that Coach Pitino had forced the employee to crab walk around the parking lot for stealing his line during a commercial taping and not “Being The Buford” in reckless regard for the victims welfare. Pitino had reportedly coerced Ms. Sypher to cover up the incident.

I found out from my inside source at WDRB what the allegations are.

Seems that when Pitino is really hungry late at night, he stops at White Castle and not Rally’s.

Why are people, who are going to court, ALWAYS holding hands with a spouse or someone else.

Next thing you know, she will find God and say she has asked for His forgivness

The allegations against Pitino will now come out and his reputation will be permanently damaged. I predict he will leave the University over this which couldn’t be any more sad. It’s especially bad news with UL trying to sell season tickets for the new arena. You want to know the team will be good before you shell out big bucks, and with Pitino you could at least feel safe about that.

I’m taking bets on how long she can stay quiet. I give her a week.

I give her credit, she has a nice rack.
