My whole idea about renovating The Cloud Club.

Which part? Renovating the restaurant you don’t own part or spending the $200 million you don’t have part?

How come when the average Joe commits a crime, it is investigated pretty damn fast and the average Joe is arrested. But when a ‘rat politician commits a crime, the investigation goes on for years?
