Blink and You’ll Miss Him!
Blink 182 Bassist Mark Hoppus did his best to be incognito as he was seen out for a stroll with his son Jack Hoppus in Los Angeles, California yesterday. Mark held the hand of his six year old son as the two walked with a crowd of other children and adults.
It’s been a tough year for Mark who is currently engaged in a law suit against a father-son duo who started a ‘company’ called Missicom. For those of you who don’t remember the news back in August, let’s recap.
Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus, Golf legend Phil Mickelson, and as many as a hundred others thought they’d found an investment of a lifetime, but soon realized they had been lied to. They all bought into a scheme about automated checkout machines at McDonald’s restaurants. Mark invested more than half a million dollars in it back in October 2003.
In a lawsuit filed in August TMZ.com reported that Hoppus alleged that a “company” called Missicom took him for millions, supposedly to install self-service cashier terminals in McDonald’s joints in Cali. No terminals ever materialized. Mark now wants $2 mil in damages.
Can you blame him? He’s got that adorable son to take care of!
