... in the news every now and then when he sells off one of his businesses, for the cash, I suppose. Ironic, isn't it? He still has lots of money and that huge house, but nothing to live for." "You call that ironic? What about Jane? Traded a comfortable life, a great husband, a beautiful family, and for what? A prison cell? Bet she regrets the hell out of throwing Dave away."

It's allegedly true and might help to confirm your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race... A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot.
