And I understand the financial value of the jewelry - but dang - what's $75G to a superstar multi-millionaire like Cullpepper? What a Jerk.

So lets say you make 100K a year at your job and I come over to your house and knock on your door with reporters and say "Hey, gimmie 500 dollars" and then you say no and then I cry like a retard and say "JERK, whats 500 dollrs to you!?!?"

This family is despicable and comes across like they live on welfare and used to hand outs, very, VER tacky to expect someone to GIVE them 75K worth of jewels

The kid didn't approach Cullpepper like you described - In fact, from all accounts, it was a statement more "in jest" than a real request.

Cullpepper is the one who took advantage of the circumstances - not the kid.
