That is too bad. I will admit to taking advantage of his library from time to time.

Yeah, $31 million USD in less than a year is fairly decent ;)

That's exactly what I said in my first post. Sir or Mad'am I've got my good eye on you (my other eye is missing--notice my eyepatch please--notice it)

The way they went about getting that figure is a bit shady, they posed as an person wanting to by ad space and offered him a large figure. And since he accepted they are saying he sold all is ad space for that price... I doubt the claim of 32 million but we shall probably never actually know.

He was probably laundering money for drug dealers..


What he should've done is attempted to up his clientele..

You don't see money launderers for the Super-Rich and Powerful ever getting caught or getting into trouble they can't get out of....
