Rachel had a segment on this. Has to do with Rmoney heading up Marriot Corp's audit committee and sheltering $70,000,000 in taxes. Court ruled against Marriott.

Note: I'm including this article above because it explains what a Son of Boss scheme is, and NOT b/c I agree with writer that Rmoney is not to blame.

Rmoney needs to get his "I knew nothing" story straight about Son of Boss so he can do his Olympic contortion act with the press and win his match.

Hopefully the press does its homework.
