Did you see the post about a couple illegal survivors? That they're afraid to touch their $2M because they're illegal? And the question as to whether they should have received a benefit in the first place.
Even the finance employees, who may have had good incomes, still need the proceeds for things like college for their kids. Some had 4 and 5 children.
Trust me, I know that. However, most of the ones I know are doing quite well (except today of course). They all had life insurance policies, and their companies took care of the with additional funds. Even that sleaze Howard Lutnik came through for Cantor after the media started putting the screws to him.
