It's one thing for a musician to consciously sell the rights to their back catalog.
It's another thing for a guy to be taken advantage of, spending his last few months of life trying to get his estate fixed only to realize that he had already been swindled by his business partners.
They took EVERYTHING. His son, his wife, his brother got NOTHING. They are shameless and have never done anything to make it right, convincing themselves that they deserve every penny all because they pulled a magnificent con job in the 1980s.
His story is literally used as a textbook example by law offices in the estate planning business as a horror story to encourage well off clients to use their services.
