We read this post and it reminded us of a similar situation here in west suburban Chicago some years back.

It involved a wealthy real estate developer who lost a lawsuit over similar circumstances and could not bear to pay the judgement even though Dan Dvorkin of Dan Development in Illinois was a very wealthy individual.

We read the saga of the LA developer in a similar situation and it resonates. Greed for some is a powerful motivator to make horribly IDIOT decisions
