From the article linked in the OP:

He worked at El Nuevo Rodeo restaurant nearly every weekend from January 2014 through December 2019, the complaints said. By averaging out his pay of $220 a night over his work schedule at that business, investigators believe he earned about $95,920 over six years that the Chauvins did not report as income.


Maybe Floyd knew Chauvin was not declaring all his income on his taxes?

Don't know if that will work. But either way, she is going to be a lot poorer.

Hopefully civil suits will drain their ill gotten gains.

and have sympathetic/regretful reactions in court?

He looked like something out of Guys and Dolls with his 1950's hoodlum look.

What a jackass.

as the judge read the verdict. Chauvin's eyes darkened, he looked very angry; not the reaction one would expect from someone being convicted of murder. He stood and snapped to attention while being handcuffed. His only response to his attorney's remarks was to briskly nod as he was led out by the deputies. It reminded me of the look on Chauvin's face as he defiantly surveyed the bystanders while kneeling on Floyd's neck. There's something missing inside the man.
