[Kool Aid Man]

Thank you for taking the time to clarify some of the events surrounding your brothers life and death. Addiction is a terrible thing and is apparently something his in-laws (the Tatsey's) have a long history with as well.

While I accept your assertion that he was not a white supremacist, the list of organizations he "Liked and Followed" on his Facebook page included--

*American Nazi Party (Political Party) -and-

*National Socialist Movement (Political Party)

(Both groups have been shut down by Facebook)

These appear closer to the top of his list of "Likes" so I'm speculating this could have been something else he might have picked up while in prison. If so, that would seem to fit the pattern of countless bad decisions on his part.

The tragedy is that he could have probably done fairly well in life by pursuing a legitimate lively hood. But as you said, he always tried to take the "easy way" and fell in with others who were like minded such as the Ukrainian grifter Eddie Vakser. I'm sure your brother was convinced he would finally grab that shiny brass ring one day, redeem himself and repay everyone in your family he had stolen from. Unfortunately he and Eddie fail to grasp that scamming others via penny stocks in order to enrich themselves was just more of the same.

Condolences to you, your mother and his son.
