Math seems pretty good return on investment to me. Family takes in $82 million, and one relative has to take the fall for 20 months. Even if they have to give back $1,476,295 (which isn’t likely) the numbers still look pretty good.
Somebody in the family should write a “How-to” book. Probably can get a publisher’s advance for say, $1,476,295, and recoup ALL of the remaining ill-gotten wealth!
