Here's another way of looking at it.
He lost 916,000,000 and they claim he then didn't pay taxes for 18 years.
So, if he used that loss over 18 years, that means he deducted basically 51,000,000 per year from income.
Well...51,000,000 is one hell of a lot of money. But, he acts like he makes one hell of a lot more than that.
