I just spent an hour skimming over the 4MB attachment sent to me through email recording all known money that Mac's received and paid out. First off, I have to say, it is a small world and many names in this efile I know personally. There are a lot of very good, smart, kind people swept up in this drama.
My head is spinning in trying to wrap my head around the amount of money that went through Mac's hands. I see it highly likely that Mac became desensitized to the lenders/investors plight from handling hundreds of thousands of dollars each week for years! What is $80,000. to Mac in feelings. I sincerely doubt that he can appreciate the magnitude of loss.
I suggest you all get your hands on a copy of this document and verify the accuracy in each of your individual cases. I will get the name and contact number of who we should all call to either confirm the numbers or challenge. It would speed the legal process up if we all contacted the person verifying instead of waiting for a call.
I am developing a lot of questions and cannot fully articulate them in this post, but inconsistencies abound. It appears some got paid without putting a penny in. Some no doubt are considered hired to do work for the movie, but not all. There was $34K paid to a funeral home. I don't think anyone died in the filming :-)
There are some lenders/investors that did get very rich - much more paid out than put in, while others have gotten nothing.
There is a pile of money recorded going in and out with no connection to a person or business.
You can see the money pouring out to Lou from 1999 - to November of 2009, thousands at a time. In one day, there were two payments to Lou for $11K. It wasn't like Lou was paid on any schedule - but rather haphazard and many days one right after another!
As a business person myself, I am looking at nothing shy of bizarre. It appears that Mac ran a multi-dollar business with absolutely no consideration to even basic business practices. It makes no sense. I have yet to hear any satisfying explanation to how one person could so tragically fail.
I would love to continue the dialog.

Meeting with Steve (Public Defender of Lou) and Susan (Investigator working with Steve)
Many of the investors/lenders in this saga have been or will be contacted by Susan as the trial of Lou comes closer. I want others to know of my meeting.
First, I would like to say - I stay involved because I care. I care about everyone involved in this horrible real life story. I will do whatever I can to help get to the truth that both Mac and Lou hold between them.
I do not pretend to know what cannot be backed up in the absence of facts. I do have my opinion, but with no intent to convince others. I just speak it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I remain highly disappointed that years have past and we still have not been provided the full story.
I know Susan from another case I was a part of and have a good deal of respect for her. I met Steve for the first time yesterday. I find them both genuine and caring. I am fully aware that they work to defend Lou. That is their job. In our meeting I never felt they were manipulating me.
I answered their questions distinguishing what I knew as fact from what was opinion. I do not think I gave them any more understanding than they didn't already have. They will likely meet again with me as our time ran out.
I expressed frustration over not having answers to where 3 million dollars ended up over 10 years - $300,000/yr. I was led to beleive the answer could lie in a high lifestyle which Lou was accostomed to living as a chiropractor. But chiropractors typically do not make even 1/2 that amount...And Lou has nothing to show for it - no homes, no vehicles, no evidence of travels or any other possible evidence of spending over $800/day for a decade. The wife suddenly broke relations at the time that BISCHA got involved and I have yet to hear if anyone has been able to speak with her. Susan says she has tried 4 times with no success. I questioned about the possiblity of a cult...or money being buried somewhere...
The bottom line is that this story still has a lot of holes. The holes could be filled with craziness between two people, but those are big holes. It is very difficult for sane people to wrap their minds around that degree of crazy.
