Indeed, there remains a disputed claim of $3.8 million arising from the bankruptcy of Transogram Co., a toy company that Motsey once headed. But it did seem the worst was over. Copeland will now have more time for his latest venture, the Comedy Center, Inc. It sells jokes to speechmakers and newspapers.
