“Did I say ‘TWO point five million’? I meant THREE point five! I’m such a silly-head!”

As for this:

“But also because Calk now finds himself indicted for taking bribes, and the US gubmint would like all his money now please as a substitute forfeiture asset.”

At least now we may finally see some legislative reform regarding asset forfeiture.

Unsecured and unsecurable multi-million loan = quid pro quo = ambassadorship to Great Britain or Secretary of the Army.

I must have slept through that day in Econ 101 when the prof went over that. Damn!

Calk is also accused of shenanigans that he played with the City of Chicago's former Mayor, Rahm Emanuel. Calk's bank, Federal Savings Bank received millions of taxpayer funds in a tricky scheme to hire Chicago residents who were to receive training in bank procedures. Turns out that many of these employees already worked at another institution owned by Calk, which was being shut down at the time. So far no legal action has been directed at Calk over these allegations of wrongdoing. See:https://www.americanbanker....

Perspective rolls, that`s what you do in D&D to see if there`s traps and stuff right?

Stephen Calk obviously is stupid, since he listed what rolls he wanted. I would have asked for jelly rolls or Hawaiian rolls myself. Since I live in a house, the role that I would have asked for would be Secretary of HUD. At least I know the difference between an Oreo and an REO.
