Ita lucrum faciam et ita bene moriar ut populus per exitum meum iuret, nisi te toga ubique perversa fuero persecutus.
I will make so much money and I will die so well that people will swear by my end, unless I follow you everywhere with a reversed toga/having reversed my toga.
Any idea what toga perversa means? Something similar to the French expression "retourner sa veste", maybe? Sorry, I don't know whether there's an English equivalent to that expression, but literally it's "to reverse one's jacket" and it means more or less "to change party/side/suddenly agree with someone or something you didn't agree with before"... So here on the whole it would mean: unless I change my mind and become your friend. Or maybe "follow you everywhere" is figurative as well and then it would mean "if I start behaving like you in every regards"? For context, he's saying that to a guy he's been insulting.
