[QUOTE="stevew, post: 197219, member: 130"] Some major writing mistakes too. Owning 10% means you get income from the profit of the company. So it might be worth $200 million in one lump sum but you could be making ten million or more a year, every year. That’s reason enough to keep it. And you can’t just sell such an asset to your sister for $1. That equals a gift of $200 million dollars - $1 - $10,000 (at the time if I remember correctly) allowable annual gifts to one person = a lot of gift tax. The rates range up to 40% today, don’t recall at the time but I’m certain similar if not higher at the time. So just applying some reality to the situation and the character would have been more believable in his actions. Plus I’d say there was a lot of room for him to grow. If Bobby hadn’t come back from the dead I think he could have developed into something more substantial of a character. [/QUOTE]
