was stephen paddocks main job actually a gambler? his brother thinks so, but he was definitely punting 6/7 figures away if he was playing table games and getting all sorts of comps
He was retired and that was his post retirement "job." In that interview Eric said they got rich from real estate in Southern California.
I feel horrific for Eric, my heart bled for that dude watching that interview. His life is ruined and he did absolutely nothing to cause it to happen. His brother just shot 600 people and he has no explanation. I nearly cried when he talked about texting his brother instead of calling him, the last time they interacted. I wonder if he's thought about the litany of attorneys that are going to come after his money since he essentially admitted that his wealth is due to his brother?
I'm sure he did want to talk to the media, it seems clear to me that the stream of consciousness he was doing there was him trying to process his thoughts. You guys need to remember that those people are parked outside of his house, he isn't calling press conferences, he isn't an attention whore.
