Just an FYI here folks, but Albert started his roller-coaster by breaking/shattering his knee. IIRC, he then contracted SARS while in hospital rehabilitating from that terrible injury. I couldn't think of a much worse double-whammy!

Unless you've got a significant amount of money invested with him the better thing to do is write it off knowing that it may have helped defray what I'm sure are some hefty healthcare expenses in Albert's case. From those that have expressed their personal experiences with this VX enthusiast take heart he's more than likely the kind to make the utmost amends once he's fully able to.

What goes around does indeed come around, and not in a tit-for-tat fashion. So reward yourselves early and take the compassionate path before you.
