14. Yepper.........................

and if the question goes over his head, ask again, and if he still can't explain it, bring a big black board out and draw him a picture, and say what does does 2+2 =? to see if he is sane.
And if he says that he can't say anything because its in court, then ask, this enlightened question to Donny Boy:

In a hypothetical situation:

If you were a student and you paid money to get something but then found out it was a scam and you asked for your money back, and you found out that the University that you thought was a Univeristy was not a Univeristy and you were sold a program that was worthless, what do you think you would do
A be upset
B be happy
C be indifferent
D none of the above

Maybe he will pay the girls off, a settlement.

He can use the millions in income from 'booksales', books bought as event freebies with campaign funds.
