It was mentioned on TV before they even had him. Talk of donating to a fund.
My problem with this is there a lot of deserving people cheated out of their property and lives every day by less spectacular crimes. We all are glad to see the California woman get a new pickup, the (a long time ago) man whose pickup was shot up while he was being held hostage getting a new one plus money to pay the insurance.
I remember Jackie Creazzo. She intervened in a rape kidnapping murder, and was shot and became a parapalegic. She got $800 a month in disability, lived in constant pain, and never complained or said she regretted getting involved. She was a suicide in the end. Given the power, she sure would not have been living in poverty, (but she did have a certificate to hang on the wall).
I do hope he gets a new boat. My guess is that the manufacturer/dealer will come through. It will make good news clip, and we all can feel good about being so benevolent.
