He should use some of that stolen money to hire a decent attorney or hire a decent financial adviser.
My bad again, I didn't think about the $300,000 Haymer had funneled into his personal bank account.

An audit by the Southern University System is questioning why about $300,000 in band camp and other fees wound up in the personal bank accounts of Nathan Haymer, the school's former band director.
The findings have been turned over to the offices of East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III and Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera, officials said Thursday.
Haymer was fired by the system's president on May 1 amid accusations that he requested kickbacks for the band to appear at an event for schoolchildren.
Haymer has denied the claims.
He could not be reached for comment Thursday on the latest issue.
Haymer's attorney, Karl Bernard of New Orleans, reviewed the audit after being asked to do so by a reporter.
Bernard said the report is based on incomplete information and that additional records are being compiled.
"I do believe, after having spoken with Mr. Haymer and based upon the information that has been provided to my office, that Mr. Haymer, his name will be cleared," Bernard added.
The audit says $300,459 collected from a high school band camps, fees for students to try out to become Dancing Dolls and fees paid by band members for the fall semester were found in two of Haymer's personal bank accounts.
