  • Get your act together and make the payments on your mortgage. Why don’t you have that helicopter pick you up and bring that payment to the office.
  • A message left for the now-deceased Stanley McLeod • Regarding the helicopter ride he took after a massive heart attack. The helicopter ride saved his life, but messages like this later killed him, a new lawsuit says. “He’d get very red in the face and short of breath,” said his wife, Dianne, of the phone calls. “I believe it contributed to his death, I really do.” Tampa law firm Morgan and Morgan is fighting for the rights of McLeod and other victims of overly aggressive debt collectors, many of which are breaking Florida law. • source
