the wife is to blame for all this
Yes. She is worth 2 billion, and she's melting over 2 million? She coudln't be mature, take the hit, and just move on. No she wanted to try to destroy the hooker. And the hooker couldn't realize she was fcking with an angry elderly billionaire, and agree to give some of the loot back just to keep peace.
Two emotionally angry people running at each other with claws out. Both willing to watch their empires burn to "win".
Now, all 3 of their names are ruined. hooker will be poor, everyone knows she blows old men for money now, Magic sure won't be posing with her again. ANyone she meets will NEVER spill their beans to her, for fear she'll out them once she gets mad or desperate.
The dude, despite everyone hating him, probably gets out in the best shape. He got BJs all over the world from this hot little freak, he keeps his Billions, and he's 80... I doubt he really cares what people think at that age. If they fine him a milllion, he'll never notice. If they fire him from "owning" a team, he can just live his days in a 10,000 a night hotel, banging hookers, watching NBA games. He's still doing what he wants.
