He was an accountant

Yes he was - in the 80s.

At some point, he began investing in real estate and wound up making a fortune.

So, he wasn't an accountant. He was a successful real estate investor. Now the question is, REITs or flipping houses, or owning apartment buildings or was he a developer?

These are not things that are very had to find out. The reporters, instead of hustling the public, need to do a bit of hustling to get facts.

Reporters ought to be trying to paint a picture of the guy, you know, what kind of a person was he. They aren't.
