I'd have a problem with any place like Home Depot giving him a job though. Yeah, he may be out of money, there are a lot of other people out there who are as well. Those other people didn't squander years worth of million dollar salaries (ok, some may have). That million dollar job is going to eventually return to him. Those other people don't have that option.
But yeah, if it was actually an honest effort then I would have no problem with that.
