DAILY DUMBASS

If you ever wondered what happened to bad guys in crappy mysteries after their overly-complicated plans get foiled, check out this trial in New Haven, Connecticut.

In April, 2007, Emanuel Nicolescu planned a home invasion against millionaire Anne Bass . . . who he used to work for as a butler.

He tried to get his hands on Anne’s money with the following ridiculous scheme: He injected her with something . . . authorities think it was ink . . . and told her it was a fatal VIRUS.

He then demanded $8.5 million to give her the ANTIDOTE. Not surprisingly, Anne didn’t fall for it, and Emanuel got arrested. He’s being charged with extortion and conspiracy, and goes on trial this week.

(–Here’s a public service for all the millionaires listening: Viruses DON’T HAVE antidotes. That’s why the doctor doesn’t prescribe anything when you go to him with the flu. Because it’s a VIRUS. There’s nothing to GIVE you.)
