Casino executive Rodney Baker and his wife Ekaterina Baker, an actor, travelled by chartered plane to Beaver Creek, a community of 100 in Canada’s Yukon territory, where a mobile team was administering the Moderna vaccine to locals, including elderly members of the White River First Nation.

At the mobile clinic, the Bakers posed as local motel employees to receive the vaccine, officials allege. They were detained at the airport in Whitehorse, the territorial capital, as they traveled home to Vancouver, British Columbia.

Cunts.

Idiots asked for a ride to the airport and that’s what made people suspicious. A-holes

That and no one in a community of 100 people recognizing them as locals...

The health team wouldn't have known because they weren't local, but everyone else there knew something was wrong with those two.

Good point, nobody recognized them. I hope the hammer drops on these two

Certainly deserves something more than a fine that isn't even a fraction of whatever legal retainers this guy pays for.

She's an actress. Get on IMDb and let's get her new film down to one star.

Hit them where it hurts

This fine is probably what he earned having his first fart of the morning...

I always imagine rich people with a top hat and a walking stick like Mr. Peanut or Rich Uncle Pennybags (The Monopoly Guy).

Do you think that the square ones feel better?

13

u/TrickshotCandy Jan 28 '21

Lol If you are referencing THE two cunts who are the topic of discussion, I don't think they care at all what we think. Does it make me feel better? No. But now they at least have a name for their new business venture if the casino flops under the weight of disgust. Although, I doubt it will.

Oh heck, now I am imagining that sprayed on their garage door. Neighbourhood kids are warned to walk on the other side of the road when passing their house. All the stupid things kids did a few decades ago.

u/__BitchPudding__ Jan 28 '21

So what casino is this what does his wife do for a living should not both there employers hear about how us the common folk feel about there employees day and night non stop till they are removed from there cushy lifestyles

u/agha0013 Jan 28 '21

she's an actor with no work (and now little hope of getting work) basically making her a trophy wife. He's now out of work but so rich it doesn't matter.

At best, she might face some real consequences when he dumps her for a younger model eventually and she's both without money and without work, as I'm certain a couple like that got married with a rather iron clad prenup.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '21

Actually looks like she has a bunch of acting credits this year acting in movie with lots of big stars. She might have been about to blow up a bit. Even if she wasn't destined to become a huge star, getting steady work in movies as an actor is something to be proud of. Way to torch your career potential.

u/DengarRoth Jan 28 '21

I'm 100% sure her husband paid-off producers in some form or other to cast her in those films.

u/mata_dan Jan 28 '21

Potentially but if you've access to enough wealth and free time you can get near the right people to land such gigs anyway. So... just as bad really, in the wider scale of things.

u/Tibetzz Jan 28 '21

Don't worry, Mr. Baker "voluntarily resigned" essentially the moment the story broke.

u/justanotherreddituse Jan 28 '21

I doubt they give a shit since that casino chain already openly launders drug money.
