PMI has since sought a lien on Keith's Georgia property in a last ditch effort to get its money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calls to Mr. Sweat were not returned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2011/12/21/4227-celebrity-cribs\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0728_cool_celebrity_cribs_footer_v2\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/07/28/0728-cool-celebrity-cribs-footer-v2.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
