He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable.

"A man is only as good as his word."

Seldom have truer words been spoken. He got a little more money at the cost of his integrity. Then again, it seems he had none to begin with...

" How many of us can say we don't have skeletons in our closets that if revealed to the public would be devastating to us or our families ?"

Speaking for myself, me. Not even close. I'm sure many others here can answer the same.

Reading this article, my impression of the man is that he was a selfish, self absorbed jerk not worthy of his family. 

@tcotruvo ,

So, by your logic, given what’s written about him in the article, if anyone comes to the conclusion that he’s a selfish, self absorbed, no integrity jerk, then that’s who that person is also?? Interesting.

Question; what’s your judgment on say, reading an article about someone who sexually abused a child?? I find that detestable, do you? I find it that way because in part I believe it to be inherently disgusting and would never conceive of doing such a heinous thing. If you find it detestable, by your own words you find that detestable because you can’t accept it about yourself. So, unless there's something horribly wrong with you, which I doubt, your logic is flawed.
