A Venture Capitalist Who Raised $100,000 For The ALS 'Ice Bucket Challenge' Died After Diving From A Nantucket Building

Venture capitalist Corey Griffin, who had just raised $100,000 for the ALS "Ice Bucket Challenge", died after diving off a building in Nantucket this weekend, the Boston Globe reports. He was 27.

According to Nantucket Police, Griffin dived off the "Juice Guys" building on Straight Wharf at 2 a.m.

Witnesses told police that Griffin floated to the surface and then went under not resurfacing again.

Colin Perry, an off-duty lifeguard who was nearby, made several rescue dives and recovered Griffin from the bottom of the harbor. CPR was unsuccessful, the police report said. He was pronounced dead at 3 a.m. at Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Griffin, who worked for New York-based finance firm Risk Assistance Network + Exchange (RANE), was good friends with Pete Frates — the former Boston College baseball captain credited with making the "Strike Out ALS: Ice Bucket Challenge" go viral.

"Team FrateTrain lost a good friend today, Corey Griffin," Frates posted on Facebook.

"Helping out was nothing new for Griff. He held his own event for me back in 2012, just a few months after diagnosis. He worked his butt off these last few weeks for ALS. We texted everyday, planning and scheming ways to raise funds and plan events."

Griffin graduated from Babson College. He played hockey at Boston College before transferring to Babson.

After college, he worked for Bain Capital in Boston, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was most recently the director of strategic initiatives for RANE.

Watch Scotty McCreery Pay Tribute To Elvis Presley...

We’re really happy to pay homage to the great Elvis Presley, who passed away suddenly on this date in 1977. Elvis was taken away from us much too soon, but his music and incredible talent will remain forever.

Let’s continue our celebration of “The King” by watching Country singer Scotty McCreery pay tribute to the icon by singing one of Elvis’ first songs, That’s Alright Mama.

That’s Alright Mama was written and originally performed by blues singer Arthur Crudup. Yet it’s best known as the first single recorded and released by Elvis Presley. Presley recorded the song on July 5, 1954, and released it July 19, 1954 with Blue Moon of Kentucky as the B-side. The song is ranked #113 on the 2010 Rolling Stone magazine list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.“

Still hungry for more Elvis? Check out this amazing 16 year-old Canadian sensation, who sounds so much like Elvis! Stunning video footage!

Alerta de fraude: GetEasy

A GetEasy promete lucros mirabolantes usando 

o nome da DECO!

A GetEasy diz ser uma empresa portuguesa que promove a venda em esquema piramidal de localizadores de veículos, pessoas e objetos, certificado pela DECO. Sempre que um membro afiliado efetua uma venda é prometido ao angariador uma comissão. No limite e em função de um elevado número de vendas são prometidos Ferraris e casas! 

À mentira descarada 

A DECO nunca patrocinou esta ou outra forma de rendimento baseada em esquemas piramidais. Somos contra este tipo de práticas: a venda de produtos ou serviços, com promessa de rentabilidades anormalmente elevadas, sem ser suportado por um negócio real que consiga gerir os tais rendimentos elevados. Ao não existir atividade real, os pagamentos dependem do recrutamento de novos investidores, o que faz com que o nível de responsabilidades aumente, de tal forma, que a um determinado momento o promotor deixa de cumprir com os compromissos assumidos, fazendo com que os investidores tenham elevadas perdas. Por estar a ser associada indevidamente, a DECO atuará em todos os fóruns para salvaguardar o seu bom nome, incluindo na justiça.
