2. In multiple years, he appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual taxpayer
The tax results for the years that followed trace an arc of continued empire building — and gathering loss.
3. He paid no federal income taxes for eight of the 10 years
4. He made millions posing as a corporate raider — until investors realized he never followed through
5. His interest income spiked in 1989 at $52.9 million, but the source is a mystery
". . . Former Chief Justice Warren Burger, a conservative, said the idea that there was an individual right to bear arms was "a fraud." If he were writing the Bill of Rights now, he said in 1991, "There wouldn't be any such thing as the Second Amendment." . . . He declared on PBS that the Second Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.". . . But that all changed with some scholarly work and cases brought by gun rights advocates. . . In 2008, in District of Columbia v. Heller, the court said there is an individual constitutional right to have a handgun in one's home for self-protection. Two years later, in a second case, the court made clear that its decision applied to the states as well as the federal government. . ."

Jayson Blair, a reporter for the New York Times, was a rising star in journalsim until someone noticed similarities between one of his articles one by one of their reporters Macarena Hernandez.

Kaavya Viswanathan was a Harvard student who got a book deal rumored to be worth $1 million and her first work had reached number 32 on the New York Times bestseller list. Talk of movie deals and more books was abound. Allegations surfaced that she copied portions of her book from other authors.

(from Joseph and his Brothers by Thomas Mann, translation by Josesph E. Woods)
". . . That occurred everywhere among men, and everywhere men fretted whether they still had an understanding of both the Lord and the times - even though that also led here and there to the most awkward sort of knowledge and even though Jacob's inherited ideas about the Lord provided him with the most refined and exhausting means for testing the worrisome question about the extent to which man's usages and customs could lag behind the will and development of that same Lord.
All the same, how very close at hand error constantly lurked here as well. One need not even think of Laban, left behind in the land of origins, and of how he put his little son in a jar. He had simply lacked any awareness of the problem - for instance, of how custom could become abomination. . ."

Many times have arisen
When there seemed to be
So many questions
That deep in my gut
Were a churning unease
And through those
Soul-searching times
I simply made up my mind
I'm gonna build
I'm gonna build my
I'm gonna build my world
Around you
Around you
Every place that I go
Every sight that I see
The different faces
I so often meet
Strangers
Or so they seem
I think how
It could all be
Much better
If you're here with me
I'm gonna build
I'm gonna build my
I'm gonna build my world
Around you
Around you
When I stop
Listen
Look all around me
All isn't well
Things that I see people do
Things they say
Shouldn't be quite that way
And better people than me
Try to change what they see
I'm gonna build
I'm gonna build my
I'm gonna build my world
Around you
Around you
