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
