I'm sure he really needs the money.

According to Page Six, former Sony CEO Tommy Mottola is accused of running off with a $150,000 advance for a book he never actually wrote, according to a lawsuit filed by Hachette Book Group yesterday. The book was apparently going to be an "inspirational book about his rise to success called The Bronx School of Business". I'm wondering if he suggests "marrying the daughter of a major record company" as one of his steps to success. (Mottola was married to the daughter of the head of ABC Records for many years.) I feel like that would be a big thing to leave out, in much the same way I feel that Donald Trump should always suggest that his fans might also want to consider inheriting anywhere from between $40 to $200 million dollars as a first step.
