Shame really. He was so young he had not found his place in the world yet. Tried to buy his place and never learned those early lessons, never found any true friends sounds like. Most of his "stupid" behavior was driven by spending ten years as a teenager basically.
If this had all happened when he was 35 none of this would have happened I am sure. I do think it is telling of what happens developmentally with kids that grow up in multimillionaire homes. Their reality never meshes with the blue collar/majority world.
But the bigger take away is the lengths the letter agencies will go to when big money is involved. What did this kid really do, really? It all comes back to making sure only the correct people have that kind of money. You can't just have some random person become a billionaire. I can't imagine the psych damage and manipulation they did to that kid in custody. And I am sure they all patted themselves on the back and cheered for a job well done, had a party, got promotions, for taking this kids money and slapping him with tax debt for the rest of his life for good measure, while forcing him to make a public statement in court about how sorry he was for being rich.
