Re: Gary Cooper in High Noon? lol Speaking as somebody who knows Mr. Rigas as he is a family friend, I would have to honestly say that he got a bum rap on this. This guy was not some cut throat business man. He was the type of guy that gave sincerely and generously to everyone around him, never asking for anything in return or even making a big deal about it, and that's going back to even before he was wealthy. I would not say the same about his well educated kids.
This guy was doing what the auditors, CPAs, and lawyers (and his kids) were telling him was alright to do. His fault was that he put way top much trust in their opinions and competence and he let them roam on a leash that was much longer than it should have been. But that is just the type of guy that he is. He loves people and is the type of person that sees good in everyone he meets. |
