He said he took 20% or $80,000.00 for the work, but he had to put about $48,000.00 of that money into the production because the budget ran behind...
Yes, that's what he said. See, that's not so hard. <g>
He also said that he was still in debt over the film so perhaps the remaining $32K didn't cover his expenses and he had no profit. It's hard to tell.
Let's assume the worst case, that he got to pocket the full $32K. That's a far cry from profiting $400K, which is what the accusers imply he did and what it seems like he did if you're not paying close attention. Do people in his situation betray their country for $32K? Not likely. Remember the guy was a warrior. Maybe for $400K. Maybe. If he betrayed his country in any way, still an "if," it most likely would have been for ideology, not money. Or perhaps to show up the people whose policies he found flawed. But not for money. The money, IMO, is most likely a red herring. |
