4 hours ago The Fundeds Adeo Ressi Arrested After Virgin America Incident
The Funded founder Adeo Ressi was arrested and briefly detained earlier this evening over an altercation with a flight attendant. The airline? Virgin America, which Ive been holding up as virtually the only airline that doesnt suck (See Virgin Airlines Fails To Commit Atrocities On Flight VX746 and Delta Flight 1843 From JFK To Hell). Ressis description of the incident is below, and he has sent this to Virgin, he tells me. Ive reached out to Virgin America for their position. I cant help but note the similarities with Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater, who has now been rewarded for his behavior with a reality tv show. The worse the flight attendant, the better the chance for fame and glory, I guess. You posted something nice about Virgin America a little over a week ago. I actually agreed until I was briefly and wrongly arrested as a result of a stressed out flight attendant today. I am horrified by the incident on VX22 today, after flying over 70,000 miles with the company. Here are the details. I was on flight VX22 in seat 2B, First Class, under the name Adeodato Gregory Ressi di Cervia. My company, the Founder Institute, is enrolling hundreds of entrepreneurs from eight cities into the incubator, so I was working before taking off. I shut everything down when the cabin door was shut, and started working again when the Internet was turned on at 10,000 feet, reviewing founder applications. The first class steward, the ITL, served some food, but otherwise ignored passengers. There was a young stewardess in the back of the plane that brought me two ginger ails, some nuts, and Pringles. It was strange that the steward ignored passengers, focusing his attention on a baby in the font row, but I didnt really notice much, since I was busy. As we started to descend, the captain came on and asked everyone to shut down computers and electronic devices. The ITL walked down the isle immediately following the captains announcement and tapped my computer to indicate that

Sep 3, 2010 The New Generation of Bank Fees And How to Avoid Them
For many years, banks relied on overdraft fees and sudden interest rate hikes to pump up profits. But recent financial sector reforms have largely outlawed these practices. And while consumers are no doubt jumping for joy, the banks are not quietly accepting the loss of billions of dollars in annual profit. Instead, they have already rolled out a series of new (and perfectly legal) fees, ranging from maintenance fees on previously free checking accounts to innovative charges on debit cards.
