McGoey was found guilty of perjury and ordered to pay $4.4 million in damages, plus $500,000 in attorney fees, which would total $1 million. The trial judge called McGoey a "crap." He then ordered him to pay a $100,000 fine, plus $1 million in restitution, and to pay $1.5 million, and to pay $900,000 in attorney and other costs. The trial court then ordered McGoey to pay a $25,000 fine, plus $500,000 in attorney, and to pay $100,000 in attorney costs.

McGoey testified that his wife's bank had records of her transactions, and he testified that his wife was using Microsoft Word as her personal email address.

In August 2010, when the court heard on the first day of trial that a $5 million bank account could be used for the fraudulent activities, McGoey gave the court a copy of a $3 million note that he took from the bank account. And he testified that he wrote it to his wife's computer.

McGoey's case was dismissed on February 2, 2011. "I don't think I've ever had an attorney representing me in court," McGoey told me. "I don't need lawyers. I'm just a simple man who thinks that I'm an easy target to attack."

I asked McGoey whether he could have used that note to steal the money and he said he didn't think he did. But then he added, "I don't think I could have done
