the 70k check? Was that a mistake, should he have said 130k to be oaid back in monthly increments?
I haven't heard that 420k figure before.

(36,463 posts)7. The $420k was an agreed upon figure, although slightly padded
It included the $130K paid to the porn star, services rendered, AND money to cover taxes on the $130k Cohen had already paid taxes on.
