I'm not sure how Snyder's fine was the largest ever at the time. The list I link to shows several earlier fines that were larger. We should probably find some additional sources on that to get the details correct. It might have been the largest one negotiated by the DA's office.

By the way: Wikipedia articles about living persons should document any negative material very carefully. We should find references for most of the things said here. --Brianyoumans 03:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Snyders fine was repeatedly reported by the Los Angeles times and the LaWeekly as the largest ever levied against an individual up to that time.

There are references also in the Los Angeles Times for all of the other various situations and someone has kindly added a few of them. BTW- how exactly does one do that?

If you look at the "history" of the article (see the tab at the top of the screen) you can tell who has made what edit. I think you and I have been the only people working on it so far. I added the references by looking through the archive on the LA Times site; they have it available online back to 1985. I haven't bothered to subscribe, so I have been only looking at the summaries. Past 1985, I'm not sure if things are available online; you might need to go to a library that has an archive on paper or microfilm. I don't know what LA Weekly may have available, I haven't looked.
I think that anything negative here should ultimately be sourced or taken out; certainly we would be forced to remove unsourced material if anyone complained. --Brianyoumans 02:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Snyder the renters who would not leave in a lawsuit that broke the renters financially. His Real Estate adventures often resulted in Snyder sueing his co-investors and developers.

That needs to be translated from whatever it is.
