text: Sumida also has an "up to"  $700K mortgage on the house that the Feds are trying to seize (according to an earlier article on the Feds Seizure efforts).
  
  Briener has probably been paid beaucoup bucks up front.
  
  Are the Feds trying to squeeze the Kealohas into going to the Fed Public Defender's Office as an act of last resort?  To be represented by one of Silvert's colleagues?
  
  Man, what's next?  
  
  No doubt the Kealohas are ruined.  But, seems like the Feds are trying to add to Hawaii's homeless problem here.
  
  At some point, this could appear to be piling on, if it isn't already.  But, then again, can't see how there's much sympathy for the Kealohas right now.  So, the Feds still have some room.
