RE: Re: [vpFREE] RE: Re: "Greatest Gambler of All Time" Busted

 

Hard to tell, some small businesses suck all the money out with good tax planning. After you get a car, 25% toward your pension first class health insurance, lunch and entertainment allowance you can get a modest W-2 and live well. The business can stay broke and does not pay big salaries, while the owners do OK.


Not saying that was the case here but if they were smart it was. Somewhere along the line they must have known that a lawsuit was coming that would hit paydirt.

Not even 100G's. Pretty small potatoes for a business wielding such
widespread and influential power.
