    How will this affect Schilling's HOF candidacy? Any chance he gets convicted and does time?

    Incredible a state in these economic times was comfortable loaning this tool $75MM of the taxpayers' money for a video game development business.

    While I am categorically opposed to states "investing" in job creation, is it fair to say that Schilling has cheated the taxpayers out of their money? As the article argues:

    But this is the best line in the story to me:

    I'd like to see an audit on the alleged $50MM he has in this personally.
    That could turn out to be another lie from a well noted braggart.
    If this weren't a big deal, the feds wouldn't be involved right now like they are.
