    It’s really bugging me that I haven’t seen “The Adjuster” used anywhere but Lemmy so far. I think it’s perfect, just like this album cover.

    Luigi’s family is worth billions. I don’t think he needs a legal defense fund. Lol

    It adds perspective though. He risked a very cushy life for this.

      I’m not finding anything about a billionaire family or his potential $100 million inheritance. While there’s no denying he grew up in a wealthy family, the online speculation articles are mostly guessing at the value of his grandmother’s estate - which would be divided among 10 children. It all looks like guesswork.

      Any legit sources for Luigi Mangione’s net worth?

            His grandfather owned so much of Baltimore in the 70s that people asked if he was in the mafia. His family owns country clubs, golf resorts, and assisted living facilities, and has donated $1M to a family center hospital.

            Like I said, they can afford an attorney.

              Guess what? People aren’t their families and we don’t know what his relationship with them is.

              He may well not be on the best of terms with the rich members of his family, being the good kind of class traitor and all…

      Source please. I’m very doubtful, I’ve seen claims like this repeated everywhere with no sources that actually mention anything related, just that his family has connections.

          I meant a source for your claims of his net worth. You’re spreading mis(dis)information in the interest of pitting the working class against someone who clearly has good intentions and regardless of background has done something that immensely benefits almost all of us.

            As I said, I double checked the numbers I cited and could only find them in the NY Post, where I copied them from. I don’t consider it a credible enough source without corroboration, so I removed the numbers.

            I’m in no way pitting the working class against him. I’m simply saying the type of support he needs from the masses is not financial. My initial point about him giving up a good life was intended to illustrate that he had much more to risk, and did it anyway.

              That’s not much better imo. Anyone would have their life ruined (and possibly ended) if they did what he did.

                Absolutely. That’s my point. Prison is the same bottom floor, but he’ll fall from a further height. It shows how committed he was to the decision. I’m sure it didn’t come easy.

                  Yeah, and my point is it’s weird how you think the only thing anyone has to lose is money. The stakes are just as high for any of us.
