Clarence Thomas's $267,230 R.V. and the Friend Who Financed It

7. "financing that experts said a bank would have been unlikely to extend --

not only because Justice Thomas was already carrying a lot of debt, but because the Marathon brand’s high level of customization makes its used motor coaches difficult to value."

Mr. Welters told the Times that roughly 9 years later “the loan was satisfied" and sent The Times a photo of the title and a handwritten “lien release” date of Nov. 22, 2008.

“‘Satisfied’ doesn’t necessarily mean someone paid the loan back,” ... “‘Satisfied’ could also mean the lender formally forgave the debt, or otherwise just stopped pursuing repayment.”

Otherwise, silence from both men. This customized RV must have been really special. Would be interested in hearing more about Thomas's high level of debt. SCOTUS income inadequate to the standard of living he'd become accustomed to?
