His next “hotel” will have complementary gray bars.
They probably got $$$ for incidentals and room service which, for a family of 5, can be quite pricey.
Locally, there is continued speculation as to what Derick did with his profits from this warehouse. He had at least 15 residents paying at least $1000. per month. His rent was only $5000. for the entire space. This does not count the additional tenents paying a few hundred dollars a month for a much smaller space. Was he sharing the profits with others? Who? Alemena was foolish to even go live on the air with NBC for that morning interview with no lawyer present. He probably couldn’t resist the lure of the cameras.
It is obvious to all except the naive/stupid that they would have paid him cash as well as for room...scumbags paying a scumbag for an interview.
