    Life has taught me that you can't trust anyones memories when they suddenly change over time and the changed memories happen to carry with them a financial or personal benefit of some kind with regards to who the memories are about. Such as sudden accusations when someone you know comes into the kind of wealth that you see here. It's also interesting that his family is backing up what he is saying.

    Who knows. You just can never trust anything when a lot of money or ulterior motives are involved.

    The report from 2023 that eventually triggered the lawsuit:

    For the record, I believe in everything Annie says here.

    I've never trusted a word Sam says so I'm going to do the same thing here and believe his sister.

    Just read the statement. Looks very much put together by attorneys. Absolutely no need to air all of that publicly and disparage a family member. You have billions. Just give her a little and help her find peace if what you're saying is true.

    If this is true, it's horrifying.

    To dang: Why is this flagged?

    For the record, I don't believe him and think it's disgusting for someone as rich and powerful as this to attack his sister publicly.
