keep the Toys R Us brand from any Liens or damage suits. Bloomberg ran a piece about KKR reviving the name only as a on line retailer much like Amazon.

Understand he is one of the Pro Kavanah promoters. His case would fall under a pending Supreme Court case. The same one Hatch wrote a 44 page amicus brief.

Damn lovin it. Met the sucker only twice and that was two times to many. What condescending piece of shit. Toss up who is worse,Hatch or the Car Elevator Guy.
