Can you give some examples of "did the right thing and still ended up bankrupt."?

  So, doing the "right thing" might not be the way to phrase it, but there are many athletes who lived within their means themselves and were taken advantage of by people they trusted. A recent example of the is Jack Johnson [1], whose parent's spent all of his money and left him $10M in debt.

      he got screwed over but he's far from bankrupt.

        Fair, I somehow missed that word my first time reading the comment, but he's an example of someone who "did the right thing" and still got "punished".
