A fake rich person would rather kill themselves than be found out.

All too often, guys like this kill their whole family on the way out. At least this guy went out solo.

Shitty that someone died. Full stop.

Past that, I don’t have much remorse when the very wealthy like this fall, especially when they flaunt it.

  I know someone like this who is probably going to walk a similar path.
  
  They were just found out for stealing large sums of money at work, including from their best friend.
  
  We all think they’re a sociopath. They’re getting to the stage where I don’t believe they will be able to fund their lifestyle.
