Isn’t Scott Tucker in prison where he belongs?

Isn’t Scott Tucker in prison where he belongs?

That is correct

Isn’t Scott Tucker in prison where he belongs?

Yes, he got 16 years, but doesn't have to pay 1.3 billion back but did have to pay 40 million in back taxes.

Scum like him deserves 16,000 years.

Well, there cannot have been much left over after paying for the 2012 DSR project.

Agree. He repeatedly sold the bad debt to multiple collection agencies, so when one collection agency came along and collected the debt, or a portion, multiple agencies were in line to hammer the same debtors again.

Although the guy was a thief the dissolution of his race team helped out many a lower budget racer. At the Laguna historics I saw a trailer with racking equipment in it with the level 5 logo. I my self picked up a low use high quality Sparco suit from eBay for
a fraction of its worth. Yeah it’s got the level 5 logo on it, but for a guy just getting into this on a budget it’s a great deal for a high quality suit.
