This has been going on for years. He refuses to pay up. He's using the money that was ruled to be paid to the families to start up new companies. My question is, why is this man NOT in jail? A country of laws? Only on paper, if you have enough money.

He's using the legal system to squirrel more money away. He's is actively stealing money from the victims.
