  Thought this would be about the whistleblower. They didn't even mention it!

    Yes allegedly having an employee bumped off for whistleblowing and the sister thing is way worse than someone having a different opinion than you. One is criminal the other is free speech.

Dunno if it's true. The family wrote it off, saying she's mentally ill, but I can also see years of abuse leading to mental illness.
