It is crazy the kind of things that can happen when a not so bright or talented person who fancies himself quite bright and talented gets his hands on too much money. Oh, Tommy.

The sad part is that he's as sketchy a businessman as he is a filmmaker. He won't say where his money came from, but the one hint he did drop was that part of it came from importing or exporting motorcycle jackets. I get the hint that he dealt in knockoffs. No one really knows what he did for a living but it certainly seems to be an illegal or semi-legal trade of some kind. He seems like just the type of guy to be in such a business.
