Unfortunately, this action will send the money to the feds, instead of reimbursing those people who trusted Tom and his allies. Bad deal for everyone.

your words are offensive and your breath is the same! Just foolin with ya, TPett. Yeah, you'll be in a funk for awhile, but you'll land on your feet. Your book deal will get you some liquid cash, especially if you sound real repentent. Now prison life? That could get kinda dicey for ya. But if you survive prison, you'll be just fine. All the people you screwed? They will never see justice, unfortunately. And that just sux. A lying, conniving, sack of dung like TPett won't "get his" in this life.

You must work for 2 men and a truck? I hear they're pretty good... looking. That tall guy who used to have the beard is the best.

Lotd32, If Mr. Catain had little decent property it must be in storage someplace. I am sure he has "the good stuff" someplace just waiting for the winds to pass. I would also guess that a lot of Petters stuff has disappeared also. I still stand by my premise a small house in a old neighborhood, used furniture and a job as a custodian/maintance in an older strip mall. It would be honest work. Minimum wage and all. His kids can go to public school and get free/reduced lunches. NO passport, an ankle bracelet with no travel. He CAN'T QUIT the job. He would be a lifer.
