Ever seen what goes on in a court in criminal trials? One heck of a lot of it establishing a pattern of behavior. If that pattern supports the criminal charges it is very likely the defendant will be found guilty.

3. he hid the ownership of his homes in corporations or under the names of relatives
4. he does not need to own anything as a sign of wealth
5. that storage locker in New Mexico is loaded with cash that will be uncovered in the next episode of Storage Wars because he forgot to pay the rent on it just as he forgot to pay the rental fees on the "mail drop" address he had in Arizona
Alan, we all know you have a second house on fantasy island. However, the majority of people still believe if it waddles and quacks it's probably a duck.
