A piece of Internet culture I miss dearly is the FatWallet Finance forums, which had an ongoing thread called "kinship proceedings: what can go wrong": https://web.archive.org/web/20171009102701/https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/finance/305858 https://web.archive.org/web/20171009102701/https://www.fatwa...

I have no idea what happened there and I'll always wonder. I do see that one of the bureaucrats from the thread was in the news ( https://nypost.com/2013/06/29/administrators-mishandled-more-than-2-2m-for-estates-of-people-who-died-in-brooklyn-audit-shows/ https://nypost.com/2013/06/29/administrators-mishandled-more... ).
