RJ Mitte (Walt Jr) has passed 😥

Wow, I was shocked to hear this. They are saying it was suicide. So sad. He was only 34 years old. RIP, Flynn ❤️

RJ had a business manager that defrauded him out of basically all of his money. He owed years of back taxes, and it took almost a decade to pay back the IRS.

The story is basically he would submit checks to her, to pay taxes. She pocketed the money, and gave him false tax payment receipts.

So she stole his money, and then he had to pay the taxes on his money x2. He was in massive debt to the IRS for years

How the fuck does that fall on him and not HER. Our system is so fucked. What happened to her??

I'm guessing it's a situation where without proof, she wasn't going to be held liable.

To take financially advantage of a person is one thing, but there is a special layer of hell for people that robs someone who was still so young at the time AND disabled.

I just watched an interview (linked somewhere else in this thread) where he says she did the same thing to 14 other vulnerable actors - people with disabilities and the elderly.

How these people can sleep at night is beyond me.

I don't wish harm upon most people. These cretins are not most people.
