Boy, are you going to get it!
You are screwed. Finished. Forever.
By the time you live this down, and/or pay them off, by the time those multiple tiers get through with you you're gonna be hash. And toast.
My heart goes out to you. I wish you the best, at least that it's not going to be as bad as it might have been.
I wouldn't trade places with you for a million dollars. Not even a million dollars Canadian.
Now that's a thought. Maybe if you stay out of the US you'll be OK. Change your name to Lorry Avenue.
Any other help or encouragement you need just let me know. Don't use your own name, though. I don't want to be tinged or tainted with the scandal.
You know how it is.
Heh, heh. :-)
