yabut, does anybody with a reality show have a grasp of reality?

Yeah, just stunning gullibility. Maybe it's for the best. Somebody that stupid with that much money could be dangerous.

Not nearly as dangerous as the woman who takes advantage of desperate grieving people. When you lose someone you love dearly you become extraordinarily vulnerable. Also elderly people are very vulnerable. These people charging money to reunite someone with a deceased loved one deserve to be imprisoned for fraud. It's a disgusting thing to do to people who are desperate.

You don't have to be smart to be rich.

You are making a joke, but I think that might actually be on their family crest or something.

That is a very good question.

His wife's death must have had a dramatic impact on his life. He lost his mind.

Sometimes the "bargaining" stage of the five stages of grief can hit you pretty hard, I suppose.

According to the article, he wasn't grieving over anything. He was just obsessed with a woman that didn't return his affections, and the psychic said she could make the woman love him by removing the "spirits" that are blocking their love, for a hefty sum, of course. That woman ended up dying, and the psychic then said she could resurrect the woman.

And to top off an already fantastic story, the only reason he figured out he was being scammed, after dropping over $700,00 on such things as fake funerals to fool the spirits mind you, was after the woman was resurrected, he realized it was an impostor. It's a classic case of the saying "A fool and his money are soon parted," so I can only assume he'd had that 700 grand for about a day.

Oh, yeah, American celebrities make that quite clear. I'm just wondering what his secret is.

I didn't read the article. I just thought this guy's wife died, and he spent a bunch of money on a psychic to bring her back. I retract my sympathy, and regret my laziness.
