Darwin Deason’s $800 Million Payday

|

That’s how much he’ll make on his share of ACS in the sale to Xerox, according to this analysis at Muckety.com. The article also refers back to Tim’s 2003 piece on Deason (“Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless“), which was memorable for many reasons, not the least of which was the fineness of its opening paragraph, which needs to be quoted in full:

Accounts differ as to what exactly happened aboard the Cartoush II during its pleasure cruise in the Bahamas in September 2001. Darwin Deason denies that he threatened to kill the chef. Others claim he did. “There certainly was a threat of getting a gun and doing something,” says one person intimately acquainted with the details of the incident. As for the chef, he isn’t saying much.

To think,  just the other day someone wondered aloud to me why Dallas doesn’t breed characters like it did in the good ol’ days.
