The reason Jim is disgusted with this signing is because of Nick’s past behavior which landed him in prison multiple times. The police arrested Gage in 2005 for possession of stolen property.
In the year 2010, Gage surrendered to police and accepted that he was involved in a bank robbery in New Jersey. Eventually, the authorities sentenced him to five years in prison.
