"Will Someone Buy Mosky an Accounting Software Package, so he can keep track of the checkbook balance."
Actually, if he is to be believed, he had a pretty good handle on his checking account balance.
In his affidavit he contends that SPNG didn't owe the $70M to MSG. So when he became aware that they intended to deposit the check, saying according to SM, "whether SDS liked it or not", he drew down their account to force it to bounce on presentation. The fact that he was able to do that without bouncing any other outstanding checks could only mean one of two things. Either 1)there were no other outstanding checks on the account or 2)he's clairevoyant. Actually, there's a third very distant outside possibility: He determined which outstanding checks hadn't cleared, contacted the payees and asked them to destroy the checks.....promising replacement checks and asking them to hold the replacements until the MSG check bounced....and either drew the balance out of the account or drew it down below $70M. It would've been much much easier to do what RM did....Stop Payment.
I'm not suggesting that this happened (personally I don't believe that it did).....only how it could have. If I had to guess, either the check was drawn on a very lightly used, perhaps dormant by intent, account or somebody was just plain tap city.
