Earning calls are when CEO’s are telling the truth about their products. Knowing Tesla’s history of making payments he won’t see a dime. I’m no lawyer but he should set up a publicity stunt like the man who seized Bank of America’s equipment in order to get paid in full the same day.

I think you mean Warren and Maureen Nyerges: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/couple-almost-forecloses-on-ban...

George and Ora Lee appear to be a couple who died hours apart in 2016 after being married for 58 years.

Yea you are right. Google failed me once again.
"Yeah, so they won't be giving the Bank of America any more trouble, capisce?" -- Bank of America
BoA having roots in the Bank of Italy makes this even funnier.
Actually it does not have roots in Bank of Italy.

In 2000, NationsBank in Charlotte bought Bank of America. They used the BofA name, but the NB people ran things. Hugh McColl had been the CEO of NB for years, and he was CEO of BofA for a year. The next CEO, Ken Lewis, was also from NB. I worked for BofA in Chicago from 2001 to 2009. I talked to people in Charlotte all the time. I almost never talked to people in California.

Now that I think about it, I dealt with people in a lot of regions of the US, but almost nobody on the West Coast.

"Bank of America, Los Angeles, was founded in California in 1923. In 1928, this entity was acquired by the Bank of Italy of San Francisco, which took the Bank of America name two years later"

So why is the headquarters in Charlotte, genius?

A lot of things can happen between 1928 and 1999.

NationsBank also "took the Bank of America name".

This is the type of person that deserves to have a statue in public

Gawiser filed a “writ of execution” (another $240 in court fees) just yesterday, which would allow Texas law enforcement to seize and sell off enough of Tesla’s property as would be required to pay the judgment against them.
