A Fucking Horse

So, this tidbit came across the wires today. Apparently, the motherfucker once tried to pay an attorney with a horse.

That's pretty creative, Bloated Tick, a horse's ass trying to pay a bill with an equine. How positively 19th century.

With warm regards, go fuck yourself and the nag you rode in on, you walking embodiment of phlegm.

what did the lawyer do to earn the bill

wonder if he was wanting to hide something.

…Trump said the horse was worth $5 million. I have a hard time believing that Trump would be willing to part with an animal that cost that much.

suggesting this for real, it would most certainly include some way for him to claim losses on the animal.
It's what he does.

the $5M. He then offers to pay the lawyer 10% of the bill, and when the lawyer agrees, he pays nothing. When the person buying the horse discovers that he was defrauded, he threatens to sue Trump. Trump replies that if he does, he will get his Judge to require a Special Master, and before the case can be settled, all parties will be dead.

Yeah, something like that.

Spoiler: the shark didn't bite. Professional courtesy.

to electrocute it for the insurance money, but then had to shift course when the rash of horse deaths aroused too much suspicion. Just a guess, but he's sociopathic enough to do something like that.

...."Indeed, in 1992, back in the days when I was an investigative reporter for Sports Illustrated, I spent weeks digging into reports that slowly evolved into one of the biggest, most gruesome stories in sports, a scandalous tale about a large group of rich and prominent horse owners -- millionaires, many of them -- who were then being pursued by federal and state law enforcement officials for conspiring to kill high-priced show horses to collect on their life insurance premiums. The story, called "Blood Money," centered on the career of Tommy "The Sandman" Burns, an otherwise cherubic 30-year-old drifter who had spent the last 10 years of his life traveling from barns to stables to horse shows and killing one expensive show horse after another.

The story was written by William Nack, and in the third paragraph, he wrote: "Burns' preferred method of killing horses was electrocution. It had been so ever since the day in 1982 when, he says, the late James Druck, an Ocala, Florida, attorney who represented insurance companies, paid him to kill the brilliant show-jumper Henry the Hawk, on whose life Druck had taken out a $150,000 life insurance policy."...(more)
