With all that rigorous accountability how the hell does doc quickly come up with $11,000,000 to go burn down 50 huts?
Average chopper bill for each one was around $2000. Double that for labour etc and it come out at no more than $250000 to do the whole job.
I don’t have much faith in docs money handling skills
