I don’t think I am understating anything. Ham is pretty greedy and dishonest. He isn’t, however, dumb enough to break the law as flagrantly as Hovind or mount as ridiculous a defence if he were brought to trial. Whether he is also insufficiently dishonest is an open question to me.
I sometimes wonder if Kent Hovind has untreated psychological issues. I don't mean this as an insult, either. I sometimes worry about the man's mental health. Some of his behavior in his trial and in prison were really disturbing, such as the outright denial that he was even found guilty of tax evasion.
