I was told he used his prior shady home as a piggy bank and got in too deep in building properties like Villa Lago. And the real estate downturn has hit him hard..he has a lot of overhead. I was also told his wife is an heiress to the Hershey Chocalate fortune, however her father is alive and well and John wouldn't go to him and ask for money. Who knows if this is all true, but my source is certain he is renting.
