The real estate market here has been in turmoil, but not as bad as other parts of the country. Good’s firm auctioned off a lot of real estate. It could be the firm was holding a lot of distressed properties and unable to unload them in the current market.
Unlike others here, I wouldn’t subscribe to the conspiracy theories. The company was probably way over-extended.
A friend committed suicide a while back and we couldn’t figure out why he did so; unlike Good, our friend was doing pretty well financially (turns out he had quite a large estate). Later, we learned he had been on anti-depressants; he sure hid his depression well.
I think many of the post were not serious, but humor!!
I’ve often heard of suicides when one tries to come off those anti-depressants. In any case, the effect of this kind of thing on the surviving family would be awful and I won’t be among those who would pass crass, casual comments on it.
