    Quoted message said:

    Barrett was cornered in a Federal case in the State of Oregon not long
    ago, and asked about his income. He testified that over the past two
    years he made a TOTAL of $54,000.

    How then does he afford to carry on fourteen (14) separate legal
    actions at one time?

    If each legal action cost him $100,000, that would come to 1.4 million
    dollars ($1,400,000).

    How do you squeeze 1.4 million out of a $54,000 total income?

    Good question...

    You don't know the difference between profit and revenue, do you? You
    shouldn't need a math PhD to solve this riddle. His legal costs are
    business expenses, and as such the money he earned to pay them is not part
    of his net income. His gross income is at least, $1,454,000, making his
    profit margin only $54,000 out of $1,454,000 or 3.7%.

    That's a thin margin, and this guy's barely ekeing out an existence. If
    you sue him, you can probably have him out of business in a heartbeat. But
    I'll bet you don't have the guts to try.
