## Resource

Steve Fanady, a former trader, has spent four years in Cook County Jail—not for a crime, but for civil contempt over unpaid divorce-related assets worth over ten million dollars. Claiming he never had the money or shares, Fanady says his life has been destroyed: his career vanished, his parents died while he was locked up, and his daughter grew into a teenager without him. His lawyer calls this a modern-day debtors’ prison, violating constitutional rights, as thousands of others have been jailed similarly for unpaid support. Fanady hopes to be released under home monitoring to make payments—and that his case won’t become another person’s nightmare. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
