Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $5,965,339; listed items add up to -$575,000

Reported net worth: $5,965,339. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = -$575,000. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

Context Missing or incomplete

Assets itemized in an attachment on pages 6–49

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 6–49).

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.

Context Income & business ties

Earns from 5 separate employers or businesses

  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.

Lists 1 business under “Interests in Specified Businesses”

Listed under “Interests in Specified Businesses”: 42 North Private Bank. That section covers banks, insurers, mortgage and small-loan companies, utilities, alcohol licensees, pari-mutuels and holders of city or county franchises — industries where officials' interests are disclosed separately.

What to check
  • Check whether the office sought oversees or contracts with these industries.
  • Look the businesses up on Sunbiz for officers and registered agents.

Rule: Stakes in closely regulated businesses
