She got a $21 million severance package from HP - she could easily pay this debt. Why stiff her friends?
She’s not stiffing her friends. It is all a game with them. Her friends remain creditors so they can be in line for OPM... they don’t want her money and don’t need it for the most part. They just want to be on the record to have their hands out in case some money shakes lose from the public.
fiorina has plenty of money to pay them and a lot more. She is just following the credo of politicians and big business people everywhere... never spend your own money.
