Homeless is an exaggeration. That guy is just bankrupt now. I don't understand why it took so long for many of those medallion holders to declare bankruptcy, though. I suspect it's because they are often immigrants from cultures where bankruptcy (or the equivalent) is associated with shame... In the US, bankruptcy is (or should be) associated with freedom.

The real asshole is the $TAXI guy. I wonder what happened to him.
