...but did Pike buy a promissory note for $948,607.50 or $5 million?

I believe it is understood that the Rathke family paid the first $200,000+ and then Pike covered the balance of the $1,000,000. Sort of chump change for these guys.

I wonder if the Ford Foundation knows ACORN embezzled $5 million dollars? And this is just the start...

So they hire Podesta to do their investigation of wrong-doing and they pick up stakes and move to DC... what a shock (not). Why do you think they are moving to DC??? because then no one will investigate them.

ACORN Chief Executive Officer Lewis said the new accusation about the embezzlement is "completely false." She said she would comment further after she and ACORN attorneys have a chance to review the subpoena.

blah d blah d blah no comment. Either she rolls or do time with the brothers.
