All due respect, Dix. But I think you're overstating things a bit. I've owned down there for seventeen years, and I follow real estate very closely because that's my life today. And anyone making a hundred grand a year can live large down there.
And Joey's living over by Spanish River, which isn't exactly Ocean and Palmetto. The car's not in his name, and a lot of Philly guys have said that he's not shy about letting people pick up his restaurant and bar tabs.
Now don't get me wrong, for all I know the guy has a couple million in the drawer. But the so-called "extravagant lifestyle" has been blown a little bit out of proportion .
I'm not saying it is extravagant, but you have to admit you can't live in Boca without a job and be able to do the things he does. Yea people might pick up his tabs and all, but you telling me they are paying all his bills too? That's my point, he has to be getting money from somewhere to pay these bills and if he can't show work then chances are someone is kicking up to him. Even you have to admit a guy sitting in a condo all day in Boca with no work but he has a condo and a car yet he's always seen in the nightlife it has to tell you something doesn't smell right.
Dixie, PB is right, Joey lives in an older townhouse community that would be considered middle class here in Boca. I think everyone can agree Joey is getting some financing, the question is are the funds "old money" or "new money" or a combination of both and who are his benefactors. I think we have been getting a glimpse into some activity recently with much more to follow. I believe Joey has gone "legit" though severely ethically challenged in his most recent business dealings.
