Good for the record I guess. Just no way Homero is going to be able to squirm his way out of his day in court.
How does the law work in US? His name is not mentioned. Are officers on the hook personally? Can bankruptcy get him out from under this? Is jail an option for this?
I'm thinking yes to all of the above but would like some clarification.
What officers of this company are on the hook?
I watched 'The Wizard of Lies' - the Bernie Madoff story on HBO last night. I can't help but think that Homero is the crypto version of that sack of shit. Live high on the hog for years and then have his family disintegrate, two sons die, thousands of lives ruined, all because of his scam.
IMO it is an excellent story of karma coming back to bite. The problem is that it bites those who were innocent but caught in his web. I don't think he gave a fuck. I doubt Homero does either.
Robert De Niro is an excellent actor! Homero, not so much.
Gawsome!
