Normally when someone tries to throw a lot of money at buying a business, it gets more interest than he inspired from Magna at least. From what I can tell, he's rubbed some folks the wrong way pretty spectacularly and is quite the forceful personality.
He's quite a forceful media hound. Whenever the "real running" began, shelling out money, he ran away, whether it be Hialeah, Magna or anything else he threw his name out to "save". At least Jackson, as FOS as he is puts his money on the line.
Memo to Halsey: Keith Partridge called, he wants his hair back.
