Bernie Ecclestone

[Stick Legs]

Christ, have you seen the Express??

Just watched 'the papers' on News 24. Poor bugger has been mugged and beaten badly.

No matter what you think of Bernie and F1 the fact that this has happened to an 80 year old man is pretty awful.

A man of his wealth & fame i would have thought he would have had a couple of 'minders' :?

Karma's a beotch.

Ironically, Ecclestone brushed off an attempted armed mugging or kidnapping involving F1's reigning world champion Jenson Button at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

"They look for victims, they look for anyone who looks like a soft touch and not too bright," said the Briton in Sao Paulo. "People who look a bit soft and simple, they will always have a go at."

£200,000 worth of jewelry taken. He may be very wealthy but who in their right mind wears that amount of going just to go to the office.

Like you said a publicity stunt. He took one for the team to please the Brazilians.

I believe he was with his young Brazilian 'girlfriend'. Good hookers aren't cheap.

A naive fool perhaps so disconnected from the truth of society, his very existence is an insult to those that prey on him.

Those with wealth to show have to understand they are not the majority and by no means safe anywhere that is not well guarded, for what happened to him has been happening to others like him and others not since the dawn of man, he is not an exception and he he is not special, he was just unwise to tempt the temptation of others and he came unstuck for his arrogance.
