1. Don't think I can listen

I felt plenty uneasy reading a couple articles about those sociopaths.

Nazi supporting dad, forced fights with weapons (David was stabbed by his own twin brother in one of these), blackmailing their older bro by threatening to out his homosexuality...
It's a pretty good formula on how to create an evil billionaire.

They are pretty fucked up. Actually made me think of a family from an episode of Black List. Two brothers running criminal auctions competing for their father's fortune. Russian roulette where the loser of the auction puts the gun to his own head and pulls the trigger. I wonder if the Kochs served as inspiration?
