Well according his son Max Bell Alper not paying bills seems a family tradition. He reports his parents were evicted from their home in Evanston, IL. He reports his dad applied for/intercepted a credit card in his son (Max's) name, fraudulently activated it and started using it "to pay a few bills" and then began running it up for things like "hydroponic equipment, bulk gluten free flour, airport massage chairs" etc. I'd be curious to know if those charges were ever paid or possibly written off in a bankruptcy filing. The family seems to have great disdain for the greedy banking system. No wonder Josh couldn't ever raise any money.
