That's the sick part. You can't bankrupt default this kind of debt. He is stuck with that debt for the rest of his life or until the debt is paid. If the debt is not paid, he risks additional fines, penalties or jailtime. So they've currently taken his Liberty and soon they'll take his Freedom. I can't see how the Supreme Court Justice refused to review this case considering its a travesty of justice.
i have read you can't be jailed for debt.
now, if this kid can hide his assets well, he can probably avoid having to pay much of the penalty.
or he could just move to panama and live like a king
