The former Mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick is back in the news. As part of his plea agreement he was required to pay the City of Detroit $6,000/month in restitution, for a total of $1 million.
Two months ago he unilaterally cut that monthly amount in half, claiming he was virtually broke, despite living in a million dollar mansion and driving a new SUV.
So the prosecutors asked for a restitution hearing. During this hearing the former Mayor claimed his wife handled all the bills and he had no idea if she worked or what the rent was.
But the hearing revealed that not only had the former Mayor received a $240,000 "loan" from supportive businessmen, but also that the FBI/IRS has been conducting an ongoing corruption probe. An FBI agent provided testimony that contradicted that of Mr. Kilpatrick.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
