But I do it.

So they wound up lending me $247,000, which I promptly used half of, roughly, to pay off the credit cards I had been propping things up with.

Because I'm thinking, like, why am I paying 24% with the credit cards?

When I have a 3% loan, of course, that violates all the covenants of the SBA loans, because you can only use it for operating.

And I am now...

not only guilty of wire fraud but i'm guilty of money laundering because money laundering is when i took the money and gave it to myself right i don't know it at the time so a few months after that i find out that my grievance case was going really badly and this one piece of news came in basically that a former business partner of mine um who i mistreated

Um, that wasn't surprising.

I wasn't treating anyone particularly well at that point for a couple of years.

And what he did was he turned like state's evidence against me.

He, he wrote this 10 or 20 page letter to the grievance committee, telling them everything I had, I had, uh,

ever done wrong.

And he was a buddy of mine.

He knew what I was doing wrong.

Oh, right.

Terrible.

So the letter comes in and my lawyer sends it to me and I read it.

And I said to my ethics lawyer, I said, are we done?

Is this it?

And he said, yeah, we're pretty much done.

And I said, all right, listen, why don't you call him up and tell him I resigned my law license.
