OR, he could be (as DH is fond of saying) "levered out to the hilt." In other words, he may be the kind of person who has borrowed tons of money against his potential earnings in order to enjoy a particular lifestyle.

If his ability to earn is curtailed by a felony charge, people and companies will be getting in line to collect what they are owed. And when the well runs dry, too bad, so sad, you don't get paid. I'm no lawyer, so I have no idea how they would guarantee that the injured party in this case would get to go to the front of the line, if that is at all possible.
