Does any good deed go unpunished? That’s what Reese Witherspoon is probably thinking. I’m thinking that maybe she should have paid more attention at her Legally Blond training contracts-course.

It may not be a bad idea given today’s climate. At least one comedian, Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson, required his audience to sign a $1 million nondisclosure agreement.

Blackbeard’s Blockchain

If this story is reminiscent of Pirate treasures buried in the Caribbean in the 17th Century, that’s because it is.

Credit Card Debt After Death

One of the most common question I’m asked is, “what happens to my loved-one’s credit card debt when they pass away?  More importantly, will it be my responsibility?” When you take out a credit card in your name, you’re agreeing to repay whatever you borrow.
