Last one for a while. But I wanted to point out that when the gambling scandal first broke, here's what the author of The Book of Virtues was saying in the press…
"Over 10 years, I'd say I've come out pretty close to even." [source]
And here's what he's saying now…
"I lost money. Overall, you lose money. And that's a — important lesson, I think — you can draw a lesson here. You will lose at the end of the day. They say it's not hard to win, it's hard to leave winning. And that's true, the house — the house will get you. I didn't lose what's been reported in the papers…I lost enough money to make a difference in terms of — you know — (CLEARS THROAT) counting up has made a difference in our lives. But I certainly know what I lost. I don't really think the amounts are anybody's business but the family's and the I.R.S. But, yeah, I lost. And over eight or ten years, you will lose." [source]
I didn't read all of The Book of Virtues. Anything in there about lying to try and cover up personal failings?
