I know it's been said before, but I think we need to keep in mind that GBC's ability to be rational and logical in his thinking/reckoning might not be of the highest order, especially in the face of the deadline, failing business etc, without even considering domestic pressures." People make stupid decisions all the time", (this is a quote from a policeman friend of mine), and GBC certainly seems to have made more than his fair share of them to be in this position, and, to a large extent he seems to have "got away" with them by acting the part of the successful businessman, family man etc. Perhaps he was just stupid, (without doubt he was, I know, but I mean perhaps there was no "method" at all), and just thought he could get away with it, as he always had......
What has happened to the money, is there any clue how he accrued such large debts?
Thank you all so much for this site, and for all your imputs- thoughtful, interesting, and sometimes funny- it goes a long way to restoring one's faith in human nature that can so easily be lost when reading about the likes of GBC!
