The lasting image of Dikembe Mutombo as an NBA All-Star, goofy guy, and well-earned reputation as a humanitarian took a huge hit on Monday with a shocking Houston Chronicle report that details the former Defensive Player of the Year's role in an alleged failed gold scheme centered around Mutombo's former Congolese home.
In the Chronicle feature, based around a United Nations report, Mutombo allegedly acted as a go-between that worked as a conduit spaced between his nephews and a Texan oil man that was set to purchase over a thousand pounds of gold from the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, valued at over $10 million, just a quarter of what Dikembe bragged to have ready for sale.

When you have millions of dollars to invest which aren't tied up in plant assets for a business, you get into questionable investments. I've done doctors' tax returns, believe me. What a bunch of weird, stupid investments. They lose almost as much as they make.

You picked the perfect night for the signature change, when our supposed best player Aldridge weakened in the 4th quarter as usual, causing us to lose.

Lol wtf?

I referred to the signature in the post above mine, ridiculing my criticism of Aldridge, who may be our most talented player, but isn't our best.

No problem, I was responding to the original post.

I have no idea why you are quarreling with G, but I was just clarifying that my first post was about Mutombo. :O

I have no idea either what the agenda is. Anyway, nice to see you on the off-topic board.
