Interesting story. What I don't understand is, why is it illegal for Robert Mawhinney to do what the Federals and some cities, counties and states do every day?
Borrow, spend like the kings of old, then borrow more to pay the interest on the first loan. Then repeat over and over and over in perpetuity.

Apparently it’s not illegal to “borrow it”.

It becomes a criminal matter when you fail to pay back what was borrowed.

It is because the govey entities do it for the “benefit of the people” whereas as he did it for himself. Both are criminal.
