His son will pay the ultimate price for the rest of his life. It's sad he taught him such values.

His son will pay the ultimate price for the rest of his life. It's sad he taught him such values.

To be honest the kind of child with parents that can casually throw 250,000 at a school are not the kind of children who suffer any consequence for anyone's actions.

This kid will probably have daddy's best friend pay some other school if he wants the degree, not that it matters because he just want the degree to pick up women. It's not like he needs to work.

I have seen with my own eyes how kids destroy empires that parents build and in the trading business as well.

So you are right, in the short term, there will be no consequences, long term, this kid better start learning how to navigate through challenges without daddy.
