    Wow! Somebody needs a budget! He’s either lying about his liabilities being greater than his assets or he needs to hire an accountant to decipher what are considered necessities and stupidity spending…and get rid of at least 75% of it so he’s not in the red. You know what they say, “the more you make, the more you spend”…but they never said you spend it “wisely”. When you look at someone’s spending habits, it’s amazing and almost laughable what they consider to be “necessities”.

    Oh, and 2009 sounds like a very productive year for him to get caught up on some of his credit issues with all those projects he has scheduled.

    Specifically, prosecutors focused on a memo issued after a March 31, 2009, meeting of the Great Risks commission which was called because of mounting concerns about the months of seismic activity in the region.
