...With his two year old child in the apartment with him.

But I thought he had nothing to do with it, innocent bystander, yada yada yada

The sons are still under investigation. And most of the lawsuits include the sons.

Would that the Old Douchbag possessed a parallel sense of shame.

Hari-Kari, baby.

Sons were just hit with massive lawsuit yesterday. Neither can find jobs, either -- at least not in their preferred line of work.

And who would hire them in that industry again? Either they were ignorant dupes who couldn't figure out what was going on in their own company despite their high ranking, or they were in on it.

I hear Subway is hiring.

No problem getting on with FedEx this month, if you're muscular and can read local maps.

Hara-Kiri is much more effective.

Obviously he lived a career and an incredible lifestyle based on a fraud. But they have had two years and neither he nor his brother were implicated in the scheme.

Sorry, I can't find any joy in someone hanging themselves with a child in another room. Someday that kid's gonna know.

They may not have been implicated, but they were sued for nearly a billion dollars yesterday.

Perhaps he was distraught over the lack of Met big name free agent signings.

Sure, but it wasn't exactly a shock. They had to know that basically every dime which they had was fair game.

Nobody takes any pleasure in that.

Just another indication of the apparent extreme self-centeredness of AW.
He could have taken a cab to the GW and jumped, avoiding such issues.

The bulk of my sadness remains dedicated towards the hosts of folks who got swindled by the dirtbag in charge -- gullible as many of them might have been.

Plausible deniability, my ass. Somebody wakes up to see a giant sack of cash
miraculously by his front door, and thinks it got there because he built a better mousetrap -- when he knew damn well he didn't?

Yet another great argument for the estate tax.

Poor guy.

Yeah, I agree.

And now the estate will be on the hook in the latest litigation. When this is all said and done, only the attorneys will be getting anything.
