That doc about the real estate mogul whose insane lifestyle fell apart when the real estate market went bust?
It's a great watch. Infuriating, but great.
It also sort of underscores how people who were wildly successful at real estate but got hit by the market collapse live: sure, they have debt to pay off, but they still live in swanky houses. Projection of success.
Related sidenote: Laettner has a DOPE mansion. Still.
I was just going to say something about Duke alumni connections, the 1%er douchebag underworld in which brothers help brothers get ahead in a swift and unfair manner...
... but that quote made me think of that doc.
