If some of you don't know, we have one of our main offices there.

Two expert doctors said that if we tried to thin him down, most likely he'd die on us.

We just recently let these domains go:

thefattestmanintheworld.com (and variations) planet/earth, dashes, etc
fatmanuel.com (and variations)

We were going to make a custom built car to parade him around town...

He had a HUGE collection of photos of past operations, where anyone without an iron stomach, would have
lost their groceries, right then and there.

But the idea was to see him go back to a decent size and life.

Unfortunately he is at a point where even with drastic measures, he runs a serious risk of death.

His house was depressing to say the least. He was in the front room, which in some smaller homes is probably the TV/Family room, on a matress, with a cord tied to the front door, so he can open and close it.

BUT... he has a couple of cameras around the house with monitors to view what is going on.
He was robbed about a year ago....

Can't think of too much more.
Was a good idea, but just not worth the negative drawbacks of being directly involved with someone who is a potential death risk, especially from something we'd be doing and then profiting from. (among many other reasons).
