    I can't believe that it's taken so long. The guy was trashing luxury cars intentionally more than 20 years ago....

    Canseco was playing for the Worcester Tornadoes of the Can-AM independant league this season, who play their home games right down the street from me. Guy had the 2nd worst average of all players in the entire Can-AM league last time I checked, and his contract was for 1K a month. He is listed as "inactive" on their roster page right now, whatever that means.

    Pretty sure you can't wipe out IRS debt in a chapt.7, or any bankruptcy for that matter. Maybe they negotiate, but they won't be getting a letter saying so and so filed bankruptcy and screw you and your lien.

    you cant wipe out IRS debt or college loans. pretty much all other debt can be settled up via bankruptcy.

    if they are smart, they would put at least a few million in long term CD'S. CD's dont have the best ROI, but they are risk free.
