Ah the Black Sheep in my family
The first I knew of his existance was at his mothers funeral. Lots of new faces; and me and my dad (nephew of the deceased) were finding out who they all were. Dad tried to hide it from me that one person was not in fact the deceased's son; but his representitive.

Then wasn't the time or the place; but the years have unfolded some of the details.

This character was a very rich; and high powered trader in the City (ie London for not Brits). After a run-in with the Stock Exchange (or so it was believed) he lost his job.

He then fled the country and no-one has ever seen him since. My family originates from East Africa on that side; rumours are that he may either be there; or South Africa.

Communication comes in the form of annual Christmas Hampers for my Gran (his aunt). These are relayed through his solicitor. (the representative at the funeral we believe)

Speculation suggests crimes of either a financial, or a sexual nature; possibly both. My Gran might know the details; but if she does she'll take 'em to the grave I'm sure.

I've tried Googling his name; and other things to no avail. Who knows where, or what he is...

Spooky eh?
