Man who faked his death (next boat slip over) gets 7 yrs
Yes, I do. He's in Texas, why haven't they shot him?
Does he have the money to make restitution's?
Just another example of how much power boaters suck!
He should have to pay the CG, as well.

Hey Scotty remember this guy?
HOUSTON A judge in Houston today ordered seven years in
prison for a
businessman who in 2003 faked his death to avoid paying
his debts.
Fifty-six-year-old Larry Michael Nixon also must pay nine
(M) million
dollars in restitution and three and a-half (M) million
dollars in
fines.
Nixon in September pleaded guilty to defrauding Minnwest
Bank Central
in Montevideo, Minnesota, and Old National Bank in
Indianapolis.
Nixon owned a company called L-and-D Interests, which did
business as
Delta Crane.
Nixon's 40-foot speedboat, the "Living Extra Fast,"
collided with a
barge in Galveston Bay.
The Coast Guard spent days looking for Nixon, but never
recovered a
body.
Authorities later found Nixon, using the name Patrick
Hudgens, living
in Weatherford.
