The "awesome" banker was obviously a crook also. As banker and crook are synonymous.

[@annablendermann]

It's unreal how much money Andrew spent. My theory is his spending habits were like an elite, rich person's version of stress relief to quell emotional trauma. He probably hadn't dealt with his feelings over his brother's murder and buried himself in his money instead. Even if he didn't get murdered at that point, he had lost his spouse, his kids, his money and would be in jail anyway for multi state financial fraud. He dug himself his own grave.

[@lynnlynn9124]

His spending was insane prior to the brother's death. Other shows stated that Carlos was Robert's chauffeur, boy Friday, drug buddy, friend... It also said that it was very likely that Robert asked Carlos to kill him as the one unselfish act for his family because they would be able to collect life insurance. Also the possibility that Robert wanted to commit suicide but wasn't strong enough and because he was drinking when his wife walked out, maybe got trashed so he would be passed out or close to it when his end came. He wasn't a good father, husband, or friend. Edit: oops I meant Andrew, not Robert ( l watched Robert's video before this).

[@saintlynnie4037]

My aunt Bunny was killed in an automobile accident when a woman (who it turned out had been having an affair with my aunt's husband) ran her off the road and into a concrete pylon of an overpass. The initial investigation had lead to people believing that she had nodded off at the wheel as she was a heroin addict... But then, footage from a traffic camera had came to light that showed a second car that caused the accident. This woman ended up going to prison for several years for manslaughter. My aunt's daughter was three at the time and ended up in the custody of our aunt Linda, who also ended up dying two decades later. Aunt Linda's husband had slowly poisoned her with arsenic over the course of six months so he could pursue a relationship with his mistress... Who turned out being the same woman that caused my first aunt's death... I can't remember the woman's name, it was either Teresa or Tanya...

Kind of reminds me of something that happened, when I was younger (at least three decades ago). A guy in the area was selling weed, but kept taking the money and running. Eventually, he was found lying in the middle of a road on the edge of town that didn't see much traffic at night...or even in daytime. He'd been run over with a car several times. I mostly know about this, because a friend was among the victims--$700 taken. I even met the idiot once, and wasn't impressed--nothing scary about him, just a stupid thief. He learned the hard way that some people will do you in over their money.

I read a story, that gave the theory that he hired his own killers. He had a large amount of insurance and he wanted to take care of his kids. That's why the wife left him alone that night.

[@neneshubby]

Interesting theory but who commits suicide by having someone stab you? Most people choose a quick and painless way

[@estellesery8378]

@@neneshubby I know. But according to the article he chose this method, because insurance would pay. The fact that the death was so brutal was the selling point.

[@neneshubby]

@@estellesery8378 I guess, but I strongly suspect he died just how he lived, getting high and satisfying his own personal appetites. He was a silver spooned, entitled kid from jump. I doubt he grew a conscience and thought of somebody else at his death but only God knows I guess.

Yay!!!!!!! I was hoping you would do this case!!! Thank you 😊 💓 ☺️

Thanks Adrian! Awesome to do back to back related stories. 💗 Love it. ~Keep up the great work.

Thank you for this excellent video Adrian. Very strange and tragic family. I always think of a book title when learning about crimes against the wealthy: 'Too Much and Never Enough'

[@cindys.9688]

You present each case exactly how they should be done, and include crystal clear details which makes each story gripping and easy to follow. Been a subscriber since the beginning! Love your channel!

Adrian: Roasts Connecticut's pronunciation Also Adrian: Regularly mispronounces common words ("Subsequent") 🤣

[@Nahobino777]

Now this was an insane "follow up" to the previous video. These two cases felt like i was watching a movie and its spiritual sequel. Thank you for another video Adrian!

I’m from Connecticut and yes the middle c is silent! “Lol” Good job with the story!

Their poor parents. Thank you for this video 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@eerielconstantine5051]

In regards to unique names for cities and states we have here in the US, usually the names are derived from the native tribe names for the area. It’s why Arkansas is pronounced the way it is also. Connecticut comes from the Algonquin word quinetucket, which means land along the tidal river (according to google lol)

As always well done! Love your story telling ❤

"after Robert gifted the company a small loan of half a million dollars" lmaooo i love how he weaves in such stuff so subtly 😂😂😂😂

Yeah, no way I'm feeling bad about this guy getting what was coming to him.

My favourite channel this one. Thanks for all your investigations and hard, dedicated work in giving us a great murder channel to watch regularly.

Thanks for the update and video your content is always great

Am I the only one who despite the hurt and pain he caused to his children and family am going to say ‘he deserved everything he got’. He left so many with NOTHING!!!!

[@taraversaggi6667]

It’s so disappointing to see so many people who are ready to condemn a man to death because of money - what he did was wrong and he deserved to go to prison but not to be brutally murdered

[@JumpyJoker18]

@@taraversaggi6667 He was a narcissistic POS that damaged/ruined countless lives. He threatened to kill whoever got in his way. Hopefully he suffered. You have to learn when to turn off your empathy. There are no poodles in the jungle.

Sir you have a great channel and are such a talented narrator

[@erikarutz7455]

Hi Adrian, I've been binge watching your videos and would like to say that your are amazing! Your description of facts is flawless. I love how you start your videos by showing the locations where events took place. And you are so compassionate! Kudos to you!

Excellent work Adrian ❤❤❤

Incredible story. Thank you for telling this story. Love the way you tell stories. Like you flannel shirts. You have a beautiful cat.

Six thousand is a drop in the bucket. My sister used to work for these rich people who had some huge dining table that was made out of some kind of rare wood and was worth about 30 grand or so. It's amazing what people will pay for furniture.

Greetings from Connecticut! Great coverage of both brothers and their stories. I remembered when it all happened. Love your channel.

His complaint about the pronunciation of this state made me laugh. But why no complaint about Greenwich not being pronounced Green-witch?

[@imdoneplus]

Excellent as usual mate. I look forward to these videos so much, and the “one, two punch” of the previous video and this one was just *chef’s kiss.* Thank you for all your hard work!

[@CoffeehouseCrime]

Thank you!!

[@vickyrushton1783]

I must admit my original thoughts was that he paid them to murder him the ties and back stabbing certainly means it would never be considered a suicide and I assume there was life insurance? They could not admit it as it would certainly be considered a murder and I assume they had no proof it was an elaborate assisted suicide.

[@jamesr1703]

1:40 Lol. Nice sense of humor, Adrian. Your comment made me think of the English city Leicester.
