It's incredibly foolish of him to provide all this financial detail. He is a prime target for identity theft, or for any hacker who thinks he needs to be taken down a peg or two. Just reading the first few paragraphs lets a villain know that he's target worthy, that there is $300k in credit to be taken advantage of, his home town, his company name, his occupation, his fico score, and the article even lets us know some of the cards he has. Also, I'll bet that if suspicious charges start appearing on one of his 25 Visa cards, he might not even notice.

There's over a 1000 comments on that article and I'm sure Yahoo news is widely circulated enough for somebody to get some evil thoughts in his head.
