A cautionary tale about falling into a heap of money then bragging about it.

Many moons ago I had a business partner in a then small business, trading was tough but he had the once in a lifetime good fortune of inheriting $11 million from an aunty! He said to me “f**k you and f**k this sh*t business” and went off and bought a large house on a ski resort in Utah along with a few Porsche's, snow mobiles and a tricked out Seneca, then sent me a note with an infantile drawing of me with a big long unhappy face and him with a smiley face and “$11 mil” written above his character. Fast forward 3 years and a deadly combination of starting and running a flight school while day trading the market coked out of his brain, coupled with his wife running off with the plastic surgeon who done her numerous boob jobs ended it all in tears, bankruptcy, foreclosure, plane and Porsche repo and living in a caravan.

I still have the letter !!!
