I never got paid for my one-night stand; the check bounced. When I complained, they issued another. It bounced, too. Then the Feds swept in and took Mr. K away. For once, I applauded a Federal action. (I think anyone who swindles people out of their savings--especially old people--should be done away with.)
(I later talked with someone who had worked for Keating, and who had been convinced of his innocence--until he learned that Keating had pulled his own money out and let his investors burn. Grrrr.....)
