Does This Look Like A Phi Beta Kappa Georgetown/Berkeley Student That Paid For Law School By Selling Meth?

Washington Post He was Phi Beta Kappa at Georgetown, a top economics student and an award-winning debater. He won a scholarship to study at the University of California, Berkeley and returned to Washington for law school, dazzling professors and helping inmates at the D.C. jail.

But Marc Gersen was leading a second, secret life that his teachers and old friends knew nothing about. He was selling methamphetamine through a sophisticated social-networking scheme, putting a future of great promise at risk.

Gersen, 31, was sentenced in federal court Thursday to four years in prison after pleading guilty to selling wholesale quantities of methamphetamine. But the punishment for his role in a drug ring that has led to the prosecution of at least three other people will last much longer for a young man who once dreamed of becoming a public defender.

Gersen has been locked up in the D.C. jail since his arrest more than a year ago outside a boutique hotel in Northwest Washington. At the time, he was a Georgetown second-year law student with a 3.48 grade-point average and an apartment in Dupont Circle. But he was also struggling with an addiction to the drug he was selling.

When this story initially broke, everyone and their fucking mother was screaming, “OH MY GOD, THIS IS JUST LIKE BREAKING BAD!!” They then berated everyone who responded that they hadn’t seen the show before. Then they talked about how “The Wire” is the only show that’s better than “Breaking Bad” and how it's such an accurate portrayal of the streets, forgetting that they’ve only ever had one Black friend their entire life and his Dad is a lawyer. But seriously since, the dawn of “Breaking Bad,” there’s got to be so many fucking Chemistry nerds saying to themselves, “If the Dad from Malcom and the Middle can do it, then why the fuck can’t we??” You know when Marc Gersen was “helping inmates at the D.C. jail” he was just getting connections to the drug world like Walter did with Jesse. But it looks like the DC Heisenberg fucked this shit up because he disobeyed Fring’s rule of never employing a user (in this case, himself). Or maybe he just never made it to season 2? HE FUCKING SHOULD HAVE!! BEST SHOW EVER!!!
