lollontee posted:he killed himself within an hour of hearing he lost the court case on domestic violence against his former wife lmao, all that tweet how he couldn't wait to ship off his lazy Thot "drama queen" wife to Canada via a deportation order and finally get custody of the kids from the marriage. As we all know that SA forum Mods don't exactly have the best record in babysitting kids especially if they are TVIV mods.

Anyway, RIP to Lowtax, who was manipulated into closing FYAD by a moderator on this forum who scammed a gaming PC out of several posters

Hell a lot of the internet wouldnt be the internet without him. He shot himself immediately after a judge forced him to discover that his delusion of being the real victim did not reflect reality.

The last tweet sure was a way to go out  -Rejoicing over his future full proof legal victory / can't wait to see her deported -Implied that his wife was "hiding out" at women's shelter to gain sympathy/support the phony version of her story -Rejoicing over his future victory despite how the above raised big red flags for any relationship

Not gonna lie he was a piece of poo poo but I've got too much first hand experience of the trauma suicide inflicts; lost an uncle i wasnt even close to when i was 14/15 and I still flip out hard over suicide stuff at 32. I don't mourn for Rich as such. And yet I'd prefer he still be among the living, and I weep for the rather cruel and final infliction of a trauma on his surviving kiddos and loved ones, because that trauma is one I KNOW to be agonizing. as lovely as he was, he will probably be missed by many people close to him, enough that this may well hurt them for years and years and that loving sucks and is nothing to celebrate

This thread made me think of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCLk-2iArYc Like how the person was shocked how someone was mean/vindictive during the marriage and act the same way during the divorce process.

The silver lining is that child support (and sometimes alimony) takes priority over other debts of an estate including mortgages/credit card debt/car loans etc. The kids should be getting something.

Hopefully, though I assume Rich's mom is going to try to drag it out as much as possible.

Yeah, as a youngin I saw the family impact a couple suicides wreaked and it really cemented how much it hurts the people around. Which is why I'm even more angry at lowtax, I would've had a more neutral reaction if he'd overdosed or something

The whole story reminds me of the sad Notch stories after he sold Minecraft, like how Lowtax was raking in 6 figures with no actual work via Patreon account.
