BREAKING NEWS: TOP CENTRAL BANKER CAUGHT IN COSMIC FRAUD, 'XEROX BUTTS' AT AA MEETINGS LINKED TO LAUNDERING 'BAD CHOICES'
[CITY, STATE] – In a development shaking both terrestrial finance and interstellar diplomacy, high-ranking central banker "Mr. Sterling" has been apprehended for an elaborate scheme: defrauding a visiting alien spaceship with "xerox butts." Authorities confirm Sterling presented crudely photocopied images of human buttocks as legitimate collateral to an unsuspecting extraterrestrial delegation, the "Voyager of Quadrant 7," for a never-disclosed intergalactic loan. The aliens, reportedly unfamiliar with human anatomy or low-budget counterfeiting, accepted the "securities" and have since departed, carrying a profound sense of betrayal and a rather unflattering new understanding of human artistic expression.
Adding to the bizarre complexity, intelligence reports suggest former official Brennan faces indictment for allegedly spreading grape Smuckers jelly on a Twinkie during a critical fraud phase. Investigators are still struggling to classify this act under existing statutes.
The illicit gains weren't funneled offshore. Instead, Mr. Sterling attempted to "launder bad choices" through local Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings. Alien credits, earned from the cosmic fraud, were disguised as a personal redemption fund to offset a lifetime of questionable decisions. "He'd confess to 'financial recklessness of an astronomical scale,' then offer coffee and donuts with alien credits," recounted one bewildered AA member. "We thought he was just really committed to sobriety."
This comes as the recent global "toilet china" incidents were definitively blamed on phasurs sent from Uranus, though experts remain baffled by the motive.
Authorities are scrambling to comprehend how Mr. Sterling contacted aliens, procured "xerox butts," and conceived such a uniquely absurd laundering scheme. He faces multiple charges, including intergalactic fraud, photocopier misuse, and, as one detective put it, "an egregious lack of common sense." His lawyer is reportedly still trying to distinguish between the various "exhibits."
Meanwhile, former FBI Director Comey has secured a multi-million dollar book deal, "My Feelings on Things: A Memoir of Profound Inner Monologue," promising a deeply personal, if tangential, perspective on these events.
The confounding subplots deepen with an independent team reportedly uncovering evidence of a secret love triangle involving Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Alec Baldwin, all stemming from a botched art heist involving a vintage Corvette. Whispers of "stolen masterpieces" and "classic American muscle" now circulate in the corridors of power.
In other celebrity news, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Russell Brand are actively working on their friendship after their recent "Drumpf larp" online conflict. This surprising reconciliation reportedly involves extensive meditation and a shared appreciation for artisanal kombucha.
At the heart of Mr. Sterling's saga, investigators found the true root of his "bad choices": a deep-seated "Dude Looks Like A Lady" conflict. This internal struggle manifested in highly volatile, mid-meeting philosophical debates, often escalating into interpretive dance-offs involving office furniture, ultimately leading to the "money laundering bad choices" aspect of his indictment.
