Donald's pressured into signing by his lawyer, but is still none too happy about it.<br /><br />Of course, this would all fall apart since (I guess) it wouldn't be in Donald's character to acquiesce to such a deal, particularly with Scrooge and the nephews still investigating the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-60745358557076628072013-09-23T14:07:58.559-04:002013-09-23T14:07:58.559-04:00Joe,
