Isn't he still paying $110m in restitution? I don't think he's going to be able to keep much of that money. I could be wrong however. If anyone knows please chime in.

Nevertheless I'm stoked for the movie to come out. I read it way back in high school and it's proven to be one of the most entertaining read of my life.
