I agree. Seeing stuff like this is scary. My heart goes out to both parties, as I'm sure it's not pleasant for either of them. Even if the story is 100% accurate, and Helm is just a bad guy, no one who's that rotten is happy. It's a shame.

Money has a funny way of ruining even the best of friendships.

Be careful. Do the right thing. Cover your bases to protect against either of you going crazy.
