Set forth below is the text of a comment posted recently by one of the Greaney Goons to this site:
Based on your answer, I don’t think you understand what ‘powder’ is in this context Rob. Of course, you have always shown a deaf ear for analogies and comparisons, even (especially?) those you create yourself. So I’ll be so plain as to eliminate all confusion:
Rob, ‘powder’ here is money, plain and simple.
Not some subtle allusion to gunpowder (i.e. not a death threat) or baby powder or cocaine.
Money. Filthy Lucre. Hard cash. Wampum. Mean Green. Lettuce. Greenbacks.
You know; the stuff that unfortunately, is REQUIRED to support a wife and two children, and a house, car, taxes, and other trappings of modern life.
And I reiterate that I think you’ll be broke (‘Again’? Or is it ‘still’?) come 2016, unless you happen to have even more family members ready to kick off, in order to fund your shiftless ways for a few more years.
Care to explain why not, given your original nest egg, and your self admitted withdrawal rates? Because your [rapidly dwindling!] money ain’t been makin’ no money for quite some time, based on your own claims as to it’s allocation.

Rob,
It is obvious why the question was asked. When you retired, you have people your savings information, your expense estimates and investment strategies. You also gave a few updates after that as well. Simple math shows that you would have run out of money around this time or shortly after, this the question. One can only conclude that you would need something like an inheritance or a working spouse to address the shortfall.

The only question that anyone who has posted in “defense” of Mel Lindauer or John Greaney should be asking is: “What can I do to get my prison sentence reduced a bit?”
That’s certainly my sincere take re this terribly important matter, in any event.
Don’t let the bad guys get you down, Anonymous.
