Dean Driskell says #TexMcIver's retirement $ would have only lasted 24 months. The ranch is being used as a tax shelter for McIver; he saves ~$55,000 a year that way. Driskell says if the IRS declares, "This is a hobby, not a business," McIver could owe retroactively @wsbradio

Cash Poor Tex McIver's Negative Bottom Line Boosted By His Wife's Death
Without cash infusions from his wife, Tex McIver's bank accounts would have been in the red when he shot and killed her, according to testimony Wednesday.

"Stripped of his equity partnership at Fisher & Phillips, Claud “Tex” McIver’s financial situation was dire when he shot and killed his wife, a forensic accounting expert testified Wednesday during the Atlanta attorney’s ongoing murder trial.

Dean Driskell, managing partner at FTI Consulting and an adjunct professor at Georgia State University, testified that after reviewing more than 20,000 pages of McIver’s financial records, he determined McIver was “cash poor” when he shot Diane McIver in the back as they traveled through the streets of downtown Atlanta on their way home from a weekend at their 85-acre ranch...."
