I respect his philanthropy a great deal. It's very admirable, but I resist the notion that it defines you as a good person.
He wasn't legally bound to carry over the original agreement from the first company to Apotex, but in my humble opinion, I think he should have honoured it. I think that's what you do for family, and especially for 4 kids who's lives were in shambles. Later in life they did reconnect, and he did support them financially, but I think they would have faired much better to have been supported in their childhood, given jobs, and a percentage of the company. With everything else I'm also reading, he just doesn't sound that peachy.
None of this ultimately matters, I'm not passing judgement on the victims, just stating my observations, and how I'm reading the environment. Whatever happened to them, it's heinous, and undeserved in any way. The cousins sound very dark and quite capable of this. If it ends up being suicide, I'd be curious to figure out what drove him to it. I don't believe Honey would have been a willing participant. JMO.
Dear Grey-St.
I agree wholeheartedly with your post.
There seems to have been terrible rage from both directions concerning the lawsuit.
I don't understand the rage and feuding. Could there not have been a compromise or a settlement of some kind? Does everything have to have a lawsuit for someone to win everything? I don't get it.
Not saying this had anything to do with the murders. But honestly, I do not understand this.
I do feel sorry for the Winter sons. From what I've read, they had some rights with the Empire company but when it was sold, their "protection" evaporated.
If Barry Sherman could lend 100 million to D'Angelo, why not throw a settlement of a few million towards the cousins? Just my opinion.
From this article:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...ticle37355332/
"The legal fight turned ugly, with allegations flying that Mr. Sherman had plotted to kill Mr. Winter and that he used handouts to control the cousins. Mr. Sherman hit back by calling in their loans and moving to seize their houses. The suit finally ended last September when Ontario Superior Court Justice Kenneth Hood threw out the case, ruling that "the claimed interest in Apotex was wishful thinking, and beyond fanciful."
