Kind of like Martha Stewart using an insider deal to gain less than 50K profit which ending up costing her far more. It defies logic given how much money she already had.

My point (which I thought was obvious) was that these guys are heirs to large fortunes. Why on earth would they ever need to stoop to embezzling? Especially of a lousy million or two?

I don't believe I ever expressed envy towards them....only incredible sadness towards Jon Field.
Exactly! Never enough is the key. I learned a lesson when I was a teenager and a neighbor showed up in the newspaper for a huge bankruptcy. He was a guy I always envied, and will not be named here, but owned a stadium, etc. My Father pointed out that his assets were $40M + (in the late '60s)....but his liabilities were $50M +, and he had a serious liquidity problem.........just another test of Character, which some fail by stealing from others (he didn't).

Some guys who are rich view the world as rightfully providing wealth to them without the obligation of putting anything back in. If you asked them to split a football field with you, they would divide it at the 20 yard line, and keep 80. It kind of shocks them when the merry-go-round stops. AS
