For more information, you should read the "Justice for Jeffrey" blog. Obviously, this is an activist website, and so it must be approached the same way we would approach Fox News, but the basic reporting strikes me as accurate.

For the record, he was offered the role on numerous occasions, but didn't want to take a pay cut. He was also offered the chance to create a role in "The Visit", but he didn't want to break his contract. I don't think it's fair to say he walked away from his "active" career (there's a certain judgment on your end about what makes a career active versus passive), but I would agree that he prioritized making money (hallelujah) over taking on new roles (and being unemployed when he wasn't being "active").

The most interesting quote in all of this, for me, is Walter Bobbie's complaint that Loeffelholz is making more money off the production than Bobbie is... presumably Bobbie meant from the Broadway production, rather than the worldwide phenomenon (right?), but still, there's a bitterness and a rancor there that stings.

I am going to let the investigation progress before making any guesses, so I'm only going to note two things:

1. People enter into contracts they wish they hadn't all the time. And when they want to get out of them, they pay money whether (as appears to be the case here) contractually or extra-contractually. Clearly Jeff's annuity had a value a lot greater than $30,000, but that was (apparently) the deal.

2. Bobbie's comment about making less than Jeff is (if accurate) a bald faced lie.

That quote from Bobbie is mystifying. Surely his weekly royalty is more than a company members salary.

One wonders if perhaps Walter needs a physical evaluation. Something isn’t right. Medication can be a wonderful thing.
