5. I know of one guy who must be trembling if this gathers any speed
Edited on Fri Sep-16-11 04:45 PM by DFW
He built this house for himself in Florida:


Then he went "bankrupt," promised to repay a $35 million bank loan at $175,000 a month (or some such figure),
is still living in the house (cost $25 million, and the bank probably is having a hard time finding a buyer),
and is suddenly making frequent trips to Israel. I doubt his economic woes are what suddenly made him find
religion, and I also doubt his finances suddenly made him want to look for long lost relatives.

He isn't making $1750,000 a month (even before taxes) now, and he doesn't appear to fear being incarcerated
any time soon, from what I hear. Of course, he is a big Republican supporter in Florida, so maybe such
transgressions like stiffing a bank for $35 million are only considered mere bagatelles down there? I know
that in Florida that after a bankruptcy, they can't seize your house, but who would WANT to seize a house
like that anyway? The Sultan of Brunei?
