Upvoted. Adrian Butkus had near a million bucks in liquid assets, plus, one imagines, a house and all that, and is therefore near the top of the top of world wealth, and he pissed it away like an idiot. Let's not write any more sentences about this clown. Let's write things about honest poor people who could use some help.

I have compassion for these people because I personally have lost a lot of money. It weakens your spirit and makes you feel vulnerable.

He had the money because he sold his house. Was looking to grow it before buying.

It’s mentioned in the article

When did selling your house to gamble this money away to maybe get something in return became not stupid?

I don't know the origin of the phrase to "bet the farm" on something, but I'm thinking this guy wasn't the first to give it a shot.
