Neil Scott and Timothy Brooks are two very intelligent individuals. But, of course, ‘smart’ and ‘wise’ are not the same thing.

Scott, 25, and Brooks, 18, were students at Philadelphia’s prestigious Haverford School, but instead of inventing the next Facebook, these two preppies took their skills and put them to use as drug dealers.

The duo ran their business like a business, with layers of dealers and distributors that supplied substances to students at five schools…including high schools.

Taking a page out of Wall Street’s playbook, Scott and Brooks offered bonuses to their “executives.” They even allegedly allowed trustworthy dealers buy drugs on credit.

Finally, their empire came crashing down on them after a four-month investigation, during which cops mainly watched Scott’s apartment, which was the nexus of their operation.

Police say they found kilos of weed, a variety of other drugs, more than US$11,000 dollars in cash and several weapons, including a loaded handgun!

Both Scott and Brooks are now in the slammer and will likely have to re-evaluate their career goals.

72 Police in Philadelphia
Pulled off the Street for
Racist Facebook Posts Philadelphia Police
Commissioner Richard Ross
is expecting to discipline
“several dozen” of the officers. It is possible that
some officers will be fired. An independent law firm is
reviewing more than 3,100 Facebook
posts that were catalogued in a
database called the Plain View Project. Created by Injustice Watch, the
project has catalogued social media
posts of police officers and former
police officers from all over the country. The prioritized posts are ones
“clearly advocating violence or death
against any protected class such as
ethnicity, national origin, sex, religion and race.” Commissioner Ross said
he was “disgusted by many
of the posts” attributed to
the 72 officers in question. He said the department “will
work tirelessly to repair” its reputation
“with neighborhoods and individual
groups that we struggle to work with.”
