When you start feeling sorry for Nick, just remember that he helped steal homes from three people, one of whom was an elderly woman whose grave he then went to and defiled by making fun of her.

I know. My sympathy for him never lasts; he's not like Chris Chan, an anti-hero whom I genuinely like and want to see succeed. Nick is a mean old bastard and he's getting precisely what he deserves.

Still... "Advice For A Young Depressed Artist Who Is In Pain".

Well he's certainly depressed, one out of three is better than nothing.

They were. The courts repossessed the stolen homes and all their money, but I don't know if Nick spent any time in jail over it. His chief gangstalker says that there's still a warrant out for his arrest, but I think because it A) is a white-collar crime, B) didn't work, and C) was committed by a drunken homeless man, the cops are going to let it slide.

No, hold on. What happened to the money he frivolously spent in a shocking amount of time on acting reels and a new car? That had to come from somewhere.

IIRC, that was part of the house money, and the court stuff is why he no longer has anything to show for it. I don't even think he's got the funds to pay his Hollywood talent coach anymore... although he does seem to be spending a considerable chunk of his can-collecting income on Tony Robbins merchandise.

One thing I thought was funny was some of the posts Tom Davis has been making about Mr Bravo on the fan forums. Apparently the guy has been badgering his buddies in the civil air patrol to follow Corky around in their helicopters.

Again, sort of feel sorry for Nick, because Nick is in pain and Tom Davis is clearly a bit unhinged, but it's amusing to think of a bunch of elderly retired veterans buzzing his motorhome in a helicopter.

No but my point is, he spent a lot of that money, so wherever it came from in this scam didn't get it back. Real estate fraud is hardly a victimless crime.

goddamnit.
