The thing is this guy was actually a bit of a crook
himself.  He ran a chain of rent-to-own furniture
stores that charge usurious interest rates in the
form of "lease - purchase" agreements.  His stuff
was crap, too.  He had a decent audio system --
Macintosh amp and such.  He really got taken
for a ride on those speakers and the cables
though.  You'd think a guy like that would spot
a con job a mile off.  He'd be doubly ticked if
he listened to my system.  I have Martin-Logan
speakers which I bought new and they're
fabulous.
