Wow! So many people enjoyed watching you play. Why the heck did you go to the Mississippi governor for funds. Is that where you live? This is going to be your life's downfall, experimental drugs are nothing to mess with. You blew it and now the world knows all about you and the schemes you have done. Don't you think the poor folks of Mississippi could have used those funds that are no longer available for anyone in Mississippi. I hope you and the Governor have cell's that face each other. Bye bye!
Stop messing with the People's money and the People's government. It is there for the country and not 1 man
