The guy I knew died in the twin towers on 9-11 and his family was screwed over and only received his insurance payout. He left a wife and two school age daughters. Who I later heard had to sell their family home. My boss at the time donated $1000 to a fund for them. Now hearing lutnut stole their money makes me even angrier towards him😡🤬!
