The article on Friday, Nov. 9, stated Phil Lyman still owes $90,000 in restitution and is able to pay it off in $100 payments per month. By my calculations, it will take 75 years to pay the amount owed. I do not think he will live long enough to pay this off.
I am a far cry from an accountant or attorney, but it seems to me anyone can do the math. Do his heirs still owe the debt? Is the debt something that disappears when he dies? Does the U.S. Attorney’s Office give other people such good deals?
