big guys do. On a much smaller scale of course.

He buys this tavern. It's a once popular hangout that was mismanaged. A seemingly good opportunity. His two partners make this guy managing partner. So he works there full-time and draws a pretty good salary for back then. That was late 80's and I heard about $20 thousand. Not bad for an average Joe type job in my area, but no way in hell would you pay a head bartender at a tavern like that that much. There were a few people around town who would have been worth that much, but not this guy.

So the next thing you know, his sister in law is working there, and he's not really around much! The place is losing money but he's not, he's getting paid. Also his sister in law for doing what is supposed to be his job. Any expenses that are nickle and diming his partners to death, he's probably making up for his share any number of ways. Taverns are great places to screw your partners.

They ended up going under and had to sell the place. But for the one guy, it was just a nice little side gig while it lasted.
