Level 8 · 5 mo agoHe killed his family over debts he could have paid just by selling that Tiffany skylight. That is absolute financial incompetence for an accountant.

Level 8 · 5 mo agoSo... You think a skylight was worth $100,000 in 1971? That is mathematically absurd... It sounds like an urban legend you accepted without checking the inflation rates or the actual market value.
Vera
Level 6 · 5 mo agoHe had the money in that skylight. He chose murder over swallowing his pride. That is a small man.
