    Quotes from FL Sun Sentinel:
    “During the mid-1990s, Robles and his wife were spending roughly $2 million a year on travel and living expenses, prosecutors said”

    “His victims stand to collect roughly 8 cents for every dollar they are owed.”

    Next go after Provost & Umphrey in Beaumont. They hand their clients a list of asbestos-product providers and ask them “who do you think you bought products from?” If your company’s box gets checked as someone the client “thinks he might have purchased from” you’re defending a lawsuit. This happened to my company (who was a distributor of brake pads-not a mfr) not once or twice but over a hundred times. FYI many brake pads STILL contain asbestos today. Commercial users are aware of this and still purchase them.

    They’re basically untouchable, they make huge campaign contributions and kickback a vig to the DNC and whenever they get busted, it’s a light sentance.

    He made 164 million over 13 years & has nothing left? ya right!
    Our legal system is pathetic.

    OJ claims poverty too.
