He couldn't find insurance for it on the open market, so he went with the FAIR plan...with its cap of $3 million. He claimed he's still got his mortgage and taxes to cover, though now no golden egg. He's domed.

I have to wonder how he got a mortgage for such a property with FAIR insurance at the capped face amount. Sounds like the bank didn't do its due diligence. You know the old saying, "If you owe the bank $10,000, you have a problem. If you owe the bank $10,000,000, the bank has a problem." Anyone in this guy's position should have it all in an LLC and walk.
