Apparently the guys previous manager was shafting him, not paying his taxes and pocketing the money but claiming they were being paid which left him with a massive IRS tax debit which took 10yrs to pay back. Life is full of twists and turns and sharks are everywhere, you really have to be on the ball because at then end of the day the buck has to stop with you, it’s a tough lesson to learn.

The way he was scammed reminds me of how a certain woodfetcher carries on knowing it's too expensive to nab him legally.

"Mitte said he eventually discovered he was far from the only person affected. Mitte revealed he later found 14 other actors who had allegedly been scammed by the same business manager, including several actors with disabilities. He also claimed the money was routed through offshore accounts, making the case much harder to pursue. Mitte alleged the manager stole tens of millions of dollars overall.

Taking the matter to court did not seem like a realistic option either. “You’re talking years of litigation, years of appeals, years of forensic accountants, so the cost is probably going to be in the millions,” Mitte said. “Then it’s like, can you recover? Probably not.”

What a way to write a tweet:

David Kramer - a national treasure - our deepest condolences on the sudden passing..... of someone else.

And then to also include a nice big picture of the person who didn't pass away.

Money management really needs to fit in somewhere in a school curriculum. Why would anyone need someone to manage their money for them? At worst you get someone to do your taxes for you, but you have zero need to give anyone outside a bank any authority over your money...

Are you trying to put ALL the financial advisors out of a job?

Ya, a bit weird.

Also, saw him in an interview the other day and he didn't look great. All puffed up like my dad when he was sick. :crying:

Advice vs authority. I would happily accept advice, not a chance would I give anyone I don't trust any control. Play stupid games and all that...
