It's Shakespearean tragedy.

You don't have to win a jackpot to stay away from the wrong people, you should do that always.

People have to be smart...I was having a conversation with someone and they said if they won 100+ million they would only keep 2 million and give th rest away...because all that money would do is cause trouble and cost you friends and family...or in some peoples case...their life.

I have to believe that for every Abe Shakespeare and Jack Whitaker there are 20 new millionaires that go on to lead perfectly happy lives. Right

If you missed it on Nightline you can watch it online.

Forty thousand to the best friend of the son of somebody or other whom he didn't even know??? Come on, now. How gullible can somebody be???

Of course she had him killed. There's no shortage of predators like her out there looking for weak prey. This guy never had a chance. Poor snip .

This is truly a sad event. I hope that he is still alive and enjoying what is left of his money. Sadly, I fear that he is dead and the result of being taken advantage of. According to the articles that I have read, he was a very trusting man.

Things like this should be required viewing for anyone who says they would not remain anonymous, if given the chance.

Very sad. When you win a jackpot, you've got to learn how to say no and to stay away from the wrong people.

Didnt see that article but he had a pretty bad past also . Thing is he came from a bad place and when he got all that money he just about gave it all away to help others. I wonder just how many of them really appreciated his generosity

I hope he is OK but it doesnt look good. It would be hard to spend all of that money in 3 years . Started out at 11 mil and when he went missing it was down to 1 mill and the girl had quite a bit. She smells funny from here.

I don't know if you saw this story - I sure do hope they can find some answers for the family. Such a shame.

Yes, isn't it awful? The lady didn't look innocent for sure....that recorded conversation they had looked so much like a set up..for use later, to help

clear her. They also reported that so much of his money was gone in 3 years. That is such a pity..not that his money is gone but that he is gone.

Terrible.

Thanks dr Short but makes one think. I've heard of him before but it seems he gave a lot of money to people because he was trying to help them out and couldn't say no when people asked for money. Now he has disappeared. A so called friend with a shaky past and a cop that gave her info for cash. Looks like he was done in for the cash.
