My favourite article. Thank you for both the finance and moral lesson. :) I am sending it to everyone in my finance class. I read the biography while it was on Apple Books and they removed it :/ so you have a monopoly on Riklis lore.

I am not going to share that with you or anyone else because my life continues to be in danger. However, a lot of the information here is inaccurate.

Meshulam Riklis did not arrive in the United States "as a penniless immigrant" as you state in your article. There are other errors, too. Riklis came from a well to do family and was transferred to the United States (he had been a spy during WWII) by the same forces in the U.S. government that oversaw the making of Jeffrey Epstein. -Kirby Sommers, former sex slave to Ira Riklis (Rik's son).
