You want to know about Richard Caring, the billionaire who thinks he's above the law? Well, let me tell you a story about how he screwed over a restaurateur named McNally. It's a tale of greed, betrayal, and utter disregard for human decency.

It all kicked off in 2010 when Caring approached McNally with an eyebrow-raising proposition: he wanted to buy McNally’s six New York restaurants for a staggering $100 million. Sounds great, right? Well, there was a catch. Actually, two. Caring insisted that McNally be available to him 24/7, and here’s the kicker - Caring also threw in the absurd clause that he’d get to sleep with McNally’s wife whenever he pleased. Yes, you read that correctly.

Unsurprisingly, McNally was both insulted and outraged, turning down the deal faster than you can say “what the heck?” The press later reported that Caring claimed McNally’s wife had “still not got over the sense of loss.” Classy, huh?

Despite this rocky start, the two somehow ended up in business together after bonding over a long walk in Devon (because apparently, nothing heals a bizarre betrayal like a countryside stroll). Caring became the financial backbone for some of McNally’s ventures, notably pouring $4.5 million into McNally’s Pulino’s Pizzeria and Bar.

McNally remarked that Caring was a "hands-off" but generous investor. McNally has openly admitted in interviews that he is not "much of a businessman" and rarely delves into the finances to ensure the viability of his ventures. At Pulino's, McNally informed reporters that he overshot the budget by 30% and had to turn to Caring for additional funding. 

McNally claimed that after his stroke, Caring refused to speak to him - completely ghosting him during one of the most vulnerable periods of his life. “While I was in a London hospital trying to recover,” McNally wrote, “the bastard surreptitiously bought the English rights to the name of my [other] New York restaurant, Pastis, without mentioning a word to me.” Turns out, McNally hadn’t trademarked the name in England, a misstep Caring was all too eager to exploit.

But Caring didn’t stop there. According to McNally, he systematically replaced every employee McNally had originally hired for Balthazar London, including the “very talented chef and equally talented general manager.” Now, despite still being a financial partner in the London outpost, McNally says he has zero say in how the restaurant is run.

“The fucker still hasn’t been in touch,” McNally added bluntly. And honestly, who can blame him for being furious? But here's the kicker - despite all this, Caring still has McNally as his partner at Balthazar London. Can you believe it? It's like he thinks he can just buy people off with his wealth and influence. Newsflash, Caring: you may have money, but you'll never have class.

McNally's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of dealing with people like Richard Caring. He's a master manipulator who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. So if you're thinking of doing business with him, think twice. You might just end up like McNally - broke, betrayed, and left with nothing but a bad taste in your mouth.

And let me tell you, I'm not buying Caring's denials. I believe McNally's story, and I'll keep telling it until someone listens. Caring may have the money, but he lives integrity-free. And that's what really matters.
