His family had an "indian blanket", which he inhereted. He saw a similar blanket valued at $300k or so on Antiques Roadshow, so he contacted some experts, who had it analyzed and they said it could be worth several hundred thousand at auction. It was from around 1850 and in beautiful condition. It sold for $1.5 million.

Let's hope he is level-headed about handling his share of the proceeds. I have seen such windfalls destroy people and families.

I saw a mere 50K destroy a family that rented a house I owned. They moved out with their fortune and the father ended up over dosing on pills and booze in less than 6 months.

It's true that dumping a bunch of liquidity on someone that has never had it can lead to disaster, or at the very least, poor decisions.

Back when I used to watch the televitz there was a show that followed up on the people that won big in the lottery. Since people with money never waste it on taxes like the lotto, only people of meager wealth play it. Most couldn't keep their mouths shut and relatives came crawling out of the woodwork. Others ended up divorced, some just blew it on homes and living the dream until it was gone. Almost every one ended up completely broke. Wish I could find a show like that again, was very interesting.

It makes sense that many people who play the lottery have no concept for budgeting. Windfall, and it's soon gone.

Funny how we can take any thread and disparage it, be it good story or no...

"Indians" are just Mexicans with feathers instead of sombreros.


This nonsense only could happen because of the White Guilt Industrial Complex. Pathological Altruism is a is a racial mental disorder, and this is a story of someone exploiting that for their own gain. The only reason these "Indians" exist is since of White compassion. Do you really think if another racial group conquered them any of them, or their symbols would still be existing?
