Well, he's 80, you know? So, he probably won't have to pay all of it.
Kind of reminds me of the petty thief who got caught a few years ago in Cherokee County, Kansas. This guy had been a burglar and petty thief all of his life. He went before the judge and was sentenced as a career criminal. The judge handed down a thirty year sentence. The guy turned to the judge and said "But, your honor, I'm sixty-eight years old, I can't do thirty years." The judge replied (without missing a beat), "That's all right, just do all of it you can."
I haven't a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming petty vices.
