Two in a Million

Liar

Come to find out, that feature story about Dana in the Mercury News — the one in which he bragged about all the money he made in the stock market and the 2.7 million-dollar company he owned and how he had single-handedly turned his father's company around — well ... lies.

All of it.

Dana was a failure. A class A. Number One. Loser.

Someone who wanted the good life handed to him on the silver platter he saw his father eating off of every night.

He refused to work hard.

He refused to accept the fact that he was not his father.

He refused to believe that he didn't deserve his father's fortune.

All this, mind you, before he went to prison.

After, of course, God became his focus.

What surprised most was that Dana had been slated to begin receiving his father's money when he turned 25, the bulk of it to come when he turned 35.

Why would he sanction and plan a hit on his family when he was going to begin receiving his father's wealth in three years, anyway?
