Good for him !! He made a mistake and paid his debt to soceity, and now is doing well for himself and his family. But I am sure that does not sit well with the class/share the wealther fighters here in Hipsterville...

The leopard doesn't change his spots. If I had dough to invest, I wouldn't go anywhere near Fatburger.

Speaking of paying debts, I wonder how the city's collection efforts are going with Emilie Boyles?

He's been an arrogant, "gorilla merchandiser" since his high school days. I doubt if anything will keep him down. As for investing with him. Only if I got two seats on the board and my handpicked person in accounting.

It is always interesting to hear people refer to their crimes as "mistakes" or "learning experiences" and have the press give them a rah rah right up. And of course there is the old Blame the Lawyers gambit.

Anyone even been to, or seen, a Fatburger?
I haven't. But I sure hear about In-N-Out all the time.

I wouldn't touch one of this creep's burgers. Never miss an opportunity for In-N-Out. Allow me to recommend the double double. In-N-Out really is "all that."

Sally, would that be Dea's? If so, remember it fondly from many years in Gresham.

NWPortlander, no, that's the In-N-Out California style. Little I like about California but that's among the few. :=)

Fog Cutter Capital's biography of Mr. Wiederhorn describes the gentleman's time in the Sheridan federal prison thusly:
"From August 2004 to November 2005, Mr. Wiederhorn served as a director and Chief Strategy Officer during a leave of absence."
