Yeah.

Their line.

Makes me nervous.

It also turns out that Rennick Reptiles also allegedly received $70,000 of this money.

Although Ben was never accused of any wrongdoings and who's to say he even knew where that investment from his father was coming from.

But on June 4th,

2012, 62-year-old Frank was arrested.

He faced up to 60 years in federal prison with a fine of up to $750,000 if convicted.

And a trigger warning here for suicide.

Ben, who's 24 at this time, he's getting ready to celebrate his first Father's Day on Sunday, June 17th, when his dad, Frank, died by suicide.

Sadly, Ben was the one to discover his father's body on the family farm.

Frank was just really struggling at this time between these charges and this fraud.

He had also lost his wife, Ben's mother, three years before.

Losing their father to suicide not long after the death of their mom, it must have been extremely hard for the two brothers.

Absolutely.

Everything.

And who's to say, you know, the very roof over your head, your family farm with your reptile business, what if that got seized?

You got dirty money.

Like, you have no idea at that point in time how it's all going to play out.

Maybe.
