"The illegal network of tunnels and rooms underneath Nicholas' Laguna Hills estate..."
Huh? Illegal why? I mean, it sounds like illegal activities took place there, but this sentence makes it sound like the tunnels themselves were illegal. No building permit, maybe?

The illegal network of tunnels and rooms underneath Nicholas' Laguna Hills estate... This is news to me. It's illegal to dig tunnels and rooms under your property?

The only thing that could be illegal about them is if they violated zoning laws when building them, which seems to be alleged... but that’s about it.

My guess is:
Kept secret —> No building inspection --> illegal

The illegal network of tunnels and rooms underneath Nicholas' Laguna Hills estate was kept secret from his wife and city officials, the documents said. The purpose of one secret room was to allow Nicholas to "indulge his appetite for illegal drugs and sex with prostitutes," the crew claimed. Sa . . . WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

This is news to me. It's illegal to dig tunnels and rooms under your property? You need a building permit so they can increase your property taxes, don't you know?

Hard to assess taxes on, too, which I’m sure would rub the rev’nooers the wrong way...

It seems if a construction company did millions of $ worth of work, someone in the zoning dept would have known about it. How could anyone keep that much work from being seen?

The mistake these people make when putting their secret lairs together is dressing their henchmen in bright-colored jumpsuits. They’re just too easy to pick out in a gunfight.

I don’t know if this is true or not. I do, personally, in my own opinion, believe he is dirty in a lot of areas. Does this make him dirty here? I will leave it to the system.
He does have a lot of contacts in local politics and owns most of the local politicians that are openly corrupt in their business practices and running the cities, and, the law firms representing those cities.
Building complexes, building commissions and laws simply by-passed for projects he was funding, local communities lied to, ridiculed and attacked, etc.
He also had a lot of "looking the other way" and blaming the victims by the local Orange Country Register as they covered for him (IMO).
The problem is so many attorneys have to “conflict” themselves out of almost every issue this guy is involved in since he has so much power in the communities.
I hope the pendulum finally swings back and this guy and the city councils in Orange County and the political hacks that did nothing finally get their just rewards. You give bad

Secret tunnels and earthquakes probably don’t mix well. What a way to go. Slowly dying in your porn bunker with a hooker and no one knows you’re there.

You have my favorite tag line. It is the only one that really stays in my mind.

Thanks, it pretty much sums up everything about me. I have to change it temporarily for election year coverage though. I think next year it will have to be something like...”Who we gonna hate in ‘08?” I’m pretty worried about 2012, as that’s a hard one to rhyme.
