1. Well, he is a smoker. That shaves a few years off.

Plus, motorcycles are dangerous, so there's a few more years.

What an absurd notion!

They buyer has no legal right to prevent him from selling his "everything" tomorrow is he wants to.

[whistle]

2. This is why social security is going to go bankrupt by 2075....

...freepers like this jerk who have no idea what it is like to do a real day's work. The little shit!

[Fleshdancer]

3. He's doing this to pay for medical school??

If it's true, I feel bad for the guy.

4. Just Think -- He Might Have Sold It for a Mess of Pottage nt

5. If he wins the lottery, his kids will be pissed. n/t

[phusion]

6. 48,000 hits and no bids..heh! n/t

:crazy:

[Skink]

8. I bet he disappears into some witness protection program....

7. I have heard stories

of defendant atty's taking out life insurance policies on their clients. One story I am familiar with is ab atty. who takes out insurance policies on these near vagrants who are always in trouble for one thing or another. He gets them to sign over the policy to him for minor legal fees. These poor bastards have low life expectancies and he cashes in on an early death. He keeps a pool of about 30 going, so ecery year or so there is someone to collect off of.

9. Can't pay school bills

but has pretty fancy looking bikes. Possibly he didn't buy them himself, and of course med school costs are much more than what the bikes would be, but I still can't work up much sympathy for him. Makes me wonder if he spends his money on toys and fun.........

[smurfygirl]

10. does he even have a car and a house?

This is seriously fucked up.

16. It's a high-risk, although perfectly legal, investment.

If...

1. he becomes wealthy and acquires lots of valuable property

2. You can successfully defend your claim to his estate

...you win.

Two mighty big ifs. I'd want to see the contract, first. And, even if it was tight, I still wouldn't bid a bunch of my money on something that may never pan out, unless he could prove that his prospects are stellar and his determination to get rich is strong. And if his photo and auction description are any indication... well, you be the judge.

11. What's keeping him from selling everything he owns before he croaks

Or putting stuff in his wife's name. I thought Bu$h increased Pell grants for students.

[MileHiStealth]

17. Bush increased Pell grants, before he cut them ...

[freeplessinseattle]

12. What I want to know is where an average house is 80,000!! (nt)

[Bluebear]

13. I thought the same. He is in Mobile, Alabama

[radwriter0555]

14. Only if I can take out a life insurance policy on him as well. THEN it

would get VERY interesting!

heh heh.

[IowaGuy]

15. Unless he dies....

before he can rewrite his will and supersede the one that he sells, the fool that buys this will just have a worthless piece of paper....absolutely nothing stopping him from writing another will...seems to me any lawyer wortjh his salt should be able to point that little detail out....
