I think Lou would like to get back to his career in finance, and probably will. I do believe that was difficult given the time in Boston and Washington advocating for his daughter. He also had to drive there every week to be able to see her 1 hour a week for a year and half.
I'm not so sure he wants to get back to his career in finance, which he managed to harm severely several years ago by accusing a big client of financial wrongdoing (this is reported in the detailed Globe story) and consequently losing the account and most of his income.
I am not sure if he was fired for making false accusations about the client.....I have googled this but cannot find the details. But I did check the FINRA site, an industry group that monitors the status of financial advisors and it says he is no longer registered as an advisor. The site also lists several cases in which Lou was challenged by clients, including one in which his company had to repay a client $30,000 because Lou made false representations.
In addition, according to town records in West Hartford going back years before Justina was diagnosed, the 11-room family homehas been in and out of foreclosure proceedings since at least 2008 and many local companies have liens against the Pelletiers for unpaid bills. Again, this all pre-dates the recent Justina expenses, most of which were covered by Mass. anyway.
IMO, not many people would want to let a man with such a checkered professional and financial past handle their money.
