Ever had one of those friends who continually confuse you with their ability to live beyond their means? We’re guessing Jacques L. Antoine had a lot of people scratching their heads over his spending habits. As a mortgage loan originator for Harris Bank, Antoine made $48,500 a year. A decent salary, but not one that would allow him to buy a $1.6 million home in Florida. And yet, that’s exactly what he did. He also bought eight Chicago properties between 1998 and 2004 and spent “hundreds of thousands of dollars on boats and cars.”

Chicagoist has previously covered the Illinois Family Institute's attempts at coercing sponsors of the Gay Games VII -- which will be held in Chicago July 15-22, 2006 -- to back out of the event.

You didn't expect Chicago's involvement in the 2006 Gay Games to be drama free, did you?
