Problem is max unemployment is about 2k a month I believe (24k a year). Sounds like this guy owned the clinic. Would be making well into 6 figures.
You are gonna hear a lot of horror stories regarding the shutdown that haven't come out yet. My cousin in feb was slated for a 2 million dollar buy of a prominent steakhouse. The deal fell through. He tells me had he made the deal him and his wife would have been financially fucked (despite her being a partner in a methadone clinic).
