BBM - Semaphored? And Accounting on FB?
Yes DM was a busy guy alright but only when it benefited him or served his purpose. We have no idea what DM's definition of flipping houses meant. Some people gut house, and then there are those who do a bit of painting and decorating, change out a dripping faucet, change a counter top, replace carpeting...done. Then there are those who purchase a place cheap, hire a contractor to do the work for them, to turn around and sell them for a profit. Maybe DM was doing the latter and was purchasing items on line for the contractor to install for him because he was nickel and diming, not liking the prices of the contractor. DM claimed he was just breaking even and that would make sense if someone hired a contractor.
DM's or anyone for that matter, their definition of getting up early could differ greatly. Someone who sleeps in until noon, getting up at 10 or 11am could be early. Someone who normally gets up at 6am, but got up at 4 or 5am could be early to them. And don't forget, not everything would be scheduled around DM's desires, wants and needs. If the accountant said he only had morning appointments, well I guess DM wouldn't have much of an opinion then to get up early. For all we know, the issue surrounding seeing the accountant could have been due to annual taxes. Seeing as the deadline for annual taxes ends at the the end of April, was he late getting the information to the accountant, well over a month late. Maybe DM was too busy getting up late every day he missed the deadline for filing the taxes. Oh course that all depends on Millardair's fiscal year end, but what about his personal taxes...
IMHO I think yes, DM was a busy guy doing what interested him. When it came to Millardair; not so much, not so busy while WM was alive other then being a busy impediment. Once WM was removed from the picture DM was busy trying to tie up ends to get his hands on any money from his father's estate. While WM was still alive the only interest DM had in the business was tracking where his inheritance was going and maintaining his hobby hanger.
UBM - DM figured he could solve it with a gun. Too bad WM hadn't settled it with kicking DM's behind to the curb when he realized DM had no interest in the business. Not only did he not have any interest, but he had no financial investment in it either. So IMHO who the heck did DM think he was telling his father how to run his business or what to do with his money. DM could have gone out and started his own business with his own money had he been so inclined to do so. That tells me it all boiled down to greed and money on DM's part. I still question where DM got all his money from to make the purchases he made, i.e., farmland, condos and all his toys. If I had to guess, dear old dad who received thanks by being shot in the head. That or the proceeds of crime. It will be very interesting when all the finer details come out through the trial. But then again maybe once DM gets disclosure from his lawyer, he might just opt to plead guilty sparing him the embarrassment. Do psychopaths, sociopaths have pride or get embarrassed, or do they thrive on the attention a trial would bring? MOO.
