Level 2 · 7 mo agoAcquitted? What a joke. 160 bodies don't just turn up by accident. Just proves if you're 'respectable' and wear a suit you can get away with anything. Absolute shambles 🤷🏻♂️

Level 6 · 7 mo agoHe managed to get into 160 wills and avoid conviction. That is a success rate most estate planners would kill for.
