Paying off a mortgage early, in mere years, is not unusual.

Unless you get 3 or 4 $100,000 bribe checks to do it.

Maybe his wife has substantial income or they received an inheritance, but paying a mortgage early in that amount on his salary alone would be unusual. The Clarion-Ledger this morning also reported that two late model Mercedes were seized. Again, on his salary alone, it seems unusual that he could swing all that.

@9:12 True...but rare. With other peoples money when you are giving out contracts though is highly illegal. Now lets see who is gonna get snatched up!

I'm betting Epps attended that Dave Ramsey "Financial Peace University" class at Pinelake (whose preacher used to live in that Gated Luxury community). You know, pay off your mortgage early and invest the money. Guess Dave didn't mention the exposure to Hobbs Act, 18 USC, as well as the IRS coming to take you away. Irony: Shalom ("Peace") Way address and "Financial Peace." I'd rather be poor (my wish has been granted) and free than being sent to my own prison. Luckily, these are Federal charges, so McCrory is probably already lobbying for Pensacola's Club Fed for cooperation along with downward departure.

The problem is there is no mechanism in place for to detect law enforcment agency heads doing things like paying off large mortgages very early and the like.

So you want government agency heads to have their mortgage payment histories monitored? Why stop there?

there is such a mechanism. disclosure forms. releases so such forms can be verified. don't want to disclose and consent? go work somewhere else where there are no security concerns.

Exactly, 10:33! It's alarming that the blog owner here would suggest that the bank transactions of agency heads be monitored so that law enforcement can 'detect things like (this)'

And I thought Epps was just taking a little cash in exchange for cell phones over on 'C Block'.

They can fill out forms falsely all day long, but there is no mechanism to vet the information. This is the same everywhere, from the CIA spies to local government. It's a paper drill unless someone does an investigation or spot check. Much less pays attention to irregularities. And nobody makes these private companies (with all that private sector "efficiency") fill them out. Hence the push to outsource government and "cut bureaucracy" such as audits and disclosure. It pays.

Somehow I don't think that Kingfish is suggesting self-disclosure.

Looks like all eyes are on the small fish but that's what he get for rolling with the DOGS. Let's see if the USAG look in to ranking co school contracts . The governor of the state of MISSISSIPPI in NISSAN relationship!!! O MY

2:47 ~ Nissan's been sitting out there for 13 years. How many gubnors will one cell hold?

What about Gov Phil Bryant right hand man Josh Gregory no bid deals with all these state agencies.
