Daisy's Hangout for Advice

A: Hello Anonymous! I love to hear about my readers' problems and questions, and this one seems very troubling. I have been in your situation before so I know how you feel. I think what is best for you to do is to ignore it. By ignoring it, to everybody else, your relationship will still look happy and luxurious. Another positive about this is that you can have a mister of your own! If he asks about it, just tell him it's karma. Best of luck.

Love, Daisy Buchanan

Q: Hey Daisy, I'm having trouble in my relationship with my husband. I know he has a mistress in the city but he keeps denying it even though I have seen them together. What should I do? My family is very strict about divorces and I don't want to be known for that. I also don't really love him anymore. Please give me some advice, thank you so much.

The Great Crime of the Great Gatsby

News Report

Jay Gatsby (through his position in wall street) is accused of fraud and embezzlement of funds of several prominent investors. Leading up to his arrest, Gatsby was being monitored 24/7 by police at both his home and his workplace. After normal work hours, Gatsby would change the numbers on his documents, either inflating them to make himself look better, or lowering them to be able to steal money. However, Gatsby had made mistakes. Those mistakes were later discovered by Anthony Wheton, who was helping in the audit of XYZ Stockbrokers. Anthony Wheton had found many discrepancies in the company's financial documents, starting with a copious amount of money being listed under the “assets” portion of the register. Through his deceit, Gatsby was able to fund his lavish and extravagant lifestyle, along with his parties.

At said parties, illicit activities such as drug consumption, promiscuity, and disturbing the peace were commonplace and even condoned by Gatsby himself.

Recently, investigations have been announced into the Buchanan and Calloway families for crimes similar to that of Gatsby. Investigators are even speculating that they were actually party to Gatsby’s crimes and helped him to get away with it for so long.

Gatsby is set to stand trial on October 20th, 1923. If found guilty, he faces up to $30,000 in fines and up to 25 years in prison. He is expected to plead not guilty and has hired one of the most experienced lawyers in the country, Clarence Darrow, to represent him. If Gatsby were to take the plea deal, he would only serve 5 years in prison and be given fines up to $10,000. The condition of the plea deal is that he must incriminate his friends and be a witness at their trials, if there is to be one.
