As tough as it must be to run a boat co. , I can't imagine the pressure that McManus must have been under running Apache while the Feds were up his a$$ on a daily basis.

Never said he "owned" it, but he was under the same level of scrutiny by the Feds as everyone else involved in both the companies, and I give him a lot of credit for not crumbling under the pressure of working alongside the Feds on a day to day basis.
