After that, my memory of the story is pretty blurry and fragmented... something about how they lived in a small apartment with two other immigrant families. I remember that as a kid he got into trouble with the police a few times for stealing, and overall, life wasn’t easy. But eventually, he made it — though I honestly can’t remember how, because by that point my "tasting" of elite whiskies had gone way beyond the bounds of decency, and I was picking the oldest and rarest ones... well, hey, fortune favors the bold, right? Hahahah)))
The only thing that bothers me is that I can’t remember how our acquaintance became a millionaire — like, not even a vague memory of that very interesting part. But the fact is, he was rich and could afford to lose $150K in cards and treat strangers at the bar for thousands — and the bar wasn’t even the end of it... just don’t go imagining anything inappropriate, everything stayed within the limits of decency!) 1 reply
