God willing friends, this may mark the end of the financial tragedy that has plagued our hero for we’renotsurehowlong.
It only took putting homes from every continent, both poles, and a bungalow on the moon all on the market. He got sued by his ex-girlfiend, his former business manager and had more liens slapped on his ass than MC Hammer.
