He is the former owner of the Wake Effects Dealership. Big Thunder bought the company/dealership.
Not sure if he still owns the Wake Effects MTI race boat.

As far as his assets, I'm sure the Feds froze them.

Yes sorry, didn't mean for it to read like MTI the company for sale. Figured most knew he raced the MTI boat & i thought he had another.

And no, never met the guy & have no inside knowledge other than my coworker telling me that in their small neighborhood get togethers they couldn't believe the fact that magazine telemarketing could afford such nice toys.

Hey Rusty, so you probably won't be using your new 52 MTI, I'll give you $350,000 for it............

The real numbers:

183,000 victims
$335,000,000 ($335 million dollars)
$1861 PER VICTIM; targeting the elderly.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I look forward to hearing the results; but this will not be swift. I doubt it will go to trial.
