Interesting. Not sure the “giving people a second chance” statement is
appropriate for Mr Cannon, since he has been dead a long time.
From wikipedia…

Becoming involved in a counterfeiting scheme, he printed $6 million in U.S. 100-dollar bills, some of which he stored in ice chests buried in the back yard of a house he owned and rented out

Yea, I agree. I just thought it was interesting because of his Houston connections.
