Of course he'd be suspected after his employee labeled child porn stuff under Jared's company name.

Whether they turn up any smoking gun, only time will tell.

It might even be the issue of a smoking gun. For all we know, which is nothing so far ill repeat, its something like Sandusky where Jared or someone else knew about that one guys crimes but did not report. We will find out soon.

When he gets to prison, I wonder if he'll get the 6" or the footlong.

I just had a family member cleared of a false accusation in the driest, most white collar crime you could imagine, and even that was a massive stress over four years that caused the family member depression and suicidal thoughts.

I can't even imagine, can't IMAGINE what it must be like to have to see these headlines because someone associated with you did something sick. To have your name associated with that when there was nothing you could do.

If I was Jared my head would be spinning right now. Spinning. I'd be getting sick.

Spoiler

Call me an asshole but I laughed at the deleted jokes

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Yeah so why would they be raiding Jared if they already nabbed that guy?

Looking for more evidence. Evidence against Russell Taylor to strengthen their case, evidence against Jared Fogle to open a case against him, evidence against an unknown-to-us third party to track the flow of illicit material and expand their case. It's foolish to make assumptions, and even more so to assume the absolute worst, but that's what the media does.

I wish they wouldn't cover stories like this. Even if the guy is cleared no one ever pays attention to the follow up stories.

At work, so this was also my response.

It goes even deeper. For a normal person they might, MIGHT be able to continue on with their life and job. Even if Jared is cleared he's done, Subway is going to cut ties with him and no one will work with him or his foundation again.

 

[The Albatross]

Back on page 3 I posted about how his former exec of his foundation was busted a year ago, but it was actually just [i[2 months ago[/i]. Sorry had my timelines off.

Subway released a statement that they think it's related to that investigation.

Some law enforcement source is telling CBS he's a suspect so I don't think they are just looking for evidence against his former partner.

Unnamed source says someone is a suspect, so let's all go and ruin his life by reporting it.

I really dislike modern media.

Yep. The sensational, accusatory headlines show up on page one, the retractions/apologies (if they ever come) get buried in the back somewhere.

That's not to say that Jared wasn't involved somehow, but plastering the raid all over the news will tarnish him forever, guilty or not. For the average (non-famous) Joe, the long memory of the Internet would guarantee that nobody would ever hire him again.

I agree in the sense that nothing is sacred but unlike a stand up comic in his show you can't expect your audience to be fine with it. If I do crude jokes with friends and laugh I'd still get insulted if somebody told that to my grandma

Police/FBI should do the man a courtesy and do a PR if he's not accused of anything. Its pretty fucked up to have your world shattered like this for no reason and just left to rot.

Lmao, you are an insane person.

A normal person would probably not even be able to pay for thier own legal defense, Jareds net worth is 15 million dollars.

A normal person also would probably never get hired again after this. Jared doesn't need to work another day in his life.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

People on this forum seem to confuse its tight rules/moderation for being some code of conduct the real world should also live by. It's not. It's to keep from pissing off google or causing other controversy. Getting high and mighty about people breaking gaf rules just makes you look like an uptight nutcase that makes a room go silent when you walk in. Cheers.

Normal or not, it is still unfair to him if he is found innocent. $15 million is quite a bit of net worth to you (presumably) or me, but it isn't an extraordinary amount for a celebrity. The guy is only 37 years old and has a lot of living to do. If Subway cuts ties with him what does he have left? Have some fucking compassion. A lot of people will see that he is being investigated for CP, and that will be the last they hear about it. Just look at Facebook/Twitter and see the hateful comments on there already. Subway won't want to have anything to do with this guy after this, innocent or not.

 

[LiK]

Doesn't look like Jared is directly involved as far as we know. Dude just likes to eat Subway. Guess all of it is with that guy who works for him.

Im saying hes in the privileged position to actually be able to fight this instead of just immediately being crushed by the wheels of justice. The rich can take care of themselves.

e: I just reread this and my jaw dropped at the celebrity remark. 15 million is a lot for ANYONE.

 

[mackattk]

What is there to fight? If he is guilty he will be found guilty. The FBI won't charge someone who is innocent, especially someone of Jared's stature.

 

[Dr.Acula]

The FBI got Taylor in May, and they just raided high-profile Jared now. I doubt the FBI would have done it on a whim knowing how big this story would get. Jared is a pretty well-liked spokesman, if they get nothing out of the raid Subway Corp. will go hard after them.

 

[LPride]

What is there to fight? If he is guilty he will be found guilty. The FBI won't charge someone who is innocent, especially someone of Jared's stature.

Yes, thats sort of my point. If Jared is not connected and his equipment was seized in part of a different investigation he has the money and stature to be properly found not guilty.

A normal person getting caught up in something like this could be at the whim of an overzealous prosecutor who might just be looking for another easy victory.

You seem to be operating under the mistaken assumption that the american legal system is just and fair.

 

[Shaanyboi]

We've obtained the criminal complaint against Taylor ... and it says police recovered a 4 GB thumb drive and his employer, the Jared Foundation, was listed in a file name. Inside that file was a folder labeled, "Good stuff." Cops found a bunch of child pornography in that folder.

....wow

 

[hunchback]

I don't understand the reason for the raid. This case is already 2 months old. If there was or is any CP at Jared's then there was plenty of time to destroy it.
Since the case is 2 months old, why didn't the prosecutor just ask for permission to search? I bet Jared and his lawyer would have said yes if he's innocent. They could have handled this quietly but chose not to.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Not insane just thinking it through rationally. You are also overlooking a couple things I said right in my post you quoted. I stressed a normal person MIGHT (read, might, I even put it in caps to show stress) be able to live a normal life after being accused of something like this. I also mentioned after being accused, nothing about going to court and having to fight it. If they don't find anything there is nothing to prosecute with.

A normal person not easily recognizable could definitely fly under the radar and get jobs better than a famous and noticeable person. Their investigation won't be plastered all over the internet and it would be much easier for them to explain to their circle of friends who may find out about it what happened. As you put it, he's rich so no one will give a shit about his aftermath and basically go the "fuck him he's rich and probably deserves it" route. Keep in mind this will also greatly effect his Jared Foundation which actually tried to do good and educate kids.

 

[GungHo]

"We found work files mixed with kiddy stuff, so we decided to go raid someone else's house" sounds like some pretty specious shit to build a search warrant around.

I don't understand the reason for the raid. This case is already 2 months old. If there was or is any CP at Jared's then there was plenty of time to destroy it.
Since the case is 2 months old, why didn't the prosecutor just ask for permission to search? I bet Jared and his lawyer would have said yes if he's innocent. They could have handled this quietly but chose not to.

I wouldn't. Again, if your only reason to search my house is "well, you had a shit employee", you can fuck right off. If there's evidence of financial malfeasance, then they can pursue that separately and write up the warrant around that charge.

Of course, Jared may be running his foundation out of his house, which could be the complication, and it's a big damn underline about why you're not really saving yourself money by running a major business out of your home.

$15 million net worth, with likely little to no professional job prospects if Subway cuts ties with him.
