He staged his own robbery to hide a $20,000 gambling loss
A business owner, a baseball coach, active in his church. He beat himself up so the story would hold.
Adam Joseph lost five to ten thousand dollars a week for over a decade and hid all of it from his wife for the first ten to twelve years of their marriage.
To everyone around him he was the responsible one. A business owner, a baseball coach, active in his church, a devoted family man.
It started with a hundred dollar bet on a golf course at twenty-one. It ended with a staged robbery, self-inflicted injuries to make it look real, and a near-fatal hospitalisation where he hoped he would not wake up.
