No, most were victims of greed by their "associates". Others were victims of addiction. Some were victims of both. That kind of money can do that to a lot of people. The best thing to do if you come into that kind of money is to stay grounded, maybe even forget that the money is even there, and maintain privacy from so-called "friends and associates". At least, that's what I surmise, being as I've never come into that kind of money. :( :D

Some of these guys really do seem to be victims. Others deserve to be where they're at now.
