TAKING DOWN A FACEBOOKING MOB BOSS
Italian mob boss and one of Italy’s 100 most-wanted criminals,

habits. Manfredi was an avid Facebooker, logging in rather often, which
led police to trace his internet key and bust him at his own apartment.
AIRLINE EMPLOYEES GOING DOWN IN SMOKE
Virgin Atlantic fired 13 employees for insulting passengers by calling
them “chavs” in a Facebook group. The employees also joked about
the plane engines’ safety and said the cabin was full of cockroaches.
These social media idiots learned the hard way that work problems
should be kept off social media!
A DEFRAUDER TAKES A BEACH VACATION
Most people love beach vacations, including Maxi Sopo. Seattle
resident Sopo made sure to let all his Facebook friends know what a

NOT A FAN OF MUSHY PEAS AND OLD PIZZA
San Diego Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie was fined $2,500 for
complaining about the “most nasty food of any team” at their training
camp, even implying it was the reason they weren’t winning a Super Bowl.
THE FACEBOOK ADDICT-TURNED-ROBBER
You may think you’re addicted to Facebook but you don’t come close
to West Virginian Jonathan G. Parker. While robbing two diamond
rings from a woman’s home, Parker logged into Facebook – probably
to check his news feed and like a lolcat video. The trouble was he
logged in on the woman’s computer; she found an unknown profile
logged in when she arrived home which she reported to the police
whom quickly tracked Parker down.
A DRUNKEN RANT ABOUT BLOWING HEADS OFF
This social media nut wasn’t busted just by his boss but also by the
police! Bronx resident Jason A. Steward posted an angry, drunken rant
about his supervisor, threatening to blow the boss’s head off. Police
arrested Steward and charged him with a felony for making a terrorist
threat and two misdemeanours of aggravated harassment.
THE COOL MOM
Parents have to juggle a rough line between being strict and playing it cool.
Ohioan Teacher’s Aide Mary Ellen Hause was arrested for letting three
cheerleaders drink at her house with her teenage son. A school official
found pictures of the teens’ shindig on Facebook and Hause was
sentenced to 30 days in jail, a $500 fine, and three years of alcohol
possession or consumption prohibition.
THE RANTING WAITRESS
North Carolina pizza worker Ashley Johnson was fired from her waitress
Job for ranting about customers on Facebook, something many servers
seem to be doing these days. Johnson harshly criticized the guests
for staying three hours past her shift and only tipping $5.
