LAW

On Saturday December 26th 2015 at 3:19 a.m. the brother I loved and idolized, Lucas Andrew Wynter, passed away. From as early as I was able to form memories, I was always chasing after you.

To whomever is just now learning of this, I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I am at a loss for words right now; the space Lucas left behind feels as broad as the shoulders with which he shouldered the world. There has been a memorial celebration to honor Lucas' life, and share memories of the man, son, brother, and friend that he was to so many people.

I would like to thank everyone on behalf of my family for their incredible support and warmth during this difficult time. We are heartbroken and will never be able to fill the void left by his absence, but I know Lucas would be touched and honoured to know how closely he was held in everyone's hearts. To me he created and personified the standards of integrity, strength, and steadfast loyalty I aspire as a man to live up to and emulate - even now I can feel him standing over us with that wry, familiar smile.

Rest in peace, brother: we will take it from here.

I get accused of having a haughty smugness. I have a lopsided mouth. I can’t help it. I was born with it. It looks as if I am smirking. I have had my publicist tell me, ‘Don’t do that smile on the red carpet.’ I’m like, ‘That’s my smile.’

Okay, first? Pay off all your debts. Take out a small loan and pay it off right away.

Buy several hundred vacant houses. Schedule repairs for said houses with reputable contractors and make sizable down payments in advance. Get everything in writing and hang onto those deeds.

Buy a large open parcel of land that is being auctioned for development. And when I say large, I mean LARGE.

Sink millions into paying off people’s Kickstarters / college loans / medical bills / mortgages, and give generously charity organizations. That alone will carry off a lot of money.

Once you’ve got things down to a reasonable level, say $1m, buy yourself a house, furnishings, appliances, and a dependable car. Pay everything off so that you own it free and clear. Purchase about $200k worth of something easy to liquidate (i.e. gold, gems, bonds, stocks). Put the rest onto prepaid credit cards and wait for Monday to roll around.

NOW THE FUN BEGINS.

You now have commendable credit and a shining public reputation.

Fix up and flip those houses, sell them for fair market value or below to families who need them, or create non-profit homeless shelters. (After all, it’s not like you need to “make” money, this is all running on the proceeds from the property sales.)

Sell the parcel of land to developers, or donate it to public works as a park or open space. Have them name it after you.

Retire to your fully furnished home. Liquidate your extra assets, or leave them to appreciate in value for a later date. Make Christmas epic with those gift cards. Keep the extra money in the bank and keep your day job.

And don’t worry about taxes when return time rolls around, because you’ll be able to write off several millions’ worth of charitable donations.
