He was simply made to follow the law. Then he tried to spin it as that being akin to "being forced". Basically, he signed contracts he didn't understand and probably thought the other side would not follow through.

If that's "being forced" then any transaction where you put in a written, signed order and then if you try to cancel the order, the seller says "no dice, you committed yourself", would mean "you are forced into it".

Thanks for enlightening me, I think the only good thing about this guy is when he acted as Wario on Saturday Night Live
