That guy sounds like a massive prick.

I'm surprised he didn't meet with an 'accident' during the process.

Sounds like someone who likes to dick with others just because they can and think it makes them funny or clever.

Wanted lots of money but not for himself or not to give to charity.

Being obstinate for the sake of it.

Wouldn't negotiate until he'd seen the other side play their hand, then lawyered up.

“He had fun with me,” Grabow says. “He had a nice time beating me up.”

Sukenik knew the precise acreage of his block and how much the Zeckendorfs had paid. He’d calculated the taxes, insurance and carrying costs of the empty properties and recited them all to Grabow.

And he wouldn’t begin negotiations until his three fellow tenants were gone. “He knew the last man standing was very valuable.”

“I wasted my life,” the embittered Sukenik told Grabow. His father had died while he was finishing his medical degree and left him enough money that he didn’t have to work.

“I could have been at the heart of research into CAT scans and MRIs,” Sukenik said. “Instead, I’ve been up here 30 years doing crossword puzzles.”

I'm at Pennyhill something or other hotel, apparently the England rugby training place is here. The England Rugby coach just walked past according to a colleague, who got all excited about meeting him. I have no idea what's going on.

Had a near miss with a cyclist today. Totally my fault but he graciously accepted my apology. Annoyed with myself as I'm usually so careful with cyclists and motorcyclists, but I didn't see him at all.

But remember that had they been a unicyclist, you'd have been totally within your rights.

Disgraced father, became a recluse, really clever guy but didn't do anything with his life. And getting one over on venture capitalists is always a heartwarming story.

Meh - it was his home, legally and morally. If he didn't want to move out, they literally couldn't force him to. The dude clearly had some mental issues and it's a shame he couldn't enjoy the money, but there was no need for him to go anywhere.

Clearly that was a significant achievement, but I wonder about his transition from that, and his other work, to becoming an embittered recluse. I wonder if there was a single trigger, or whether it was as a result of some mental condition. Either way, I imagine that after a period of living an isolated life, it would be hard to go back to the mainstream, even though he was still sharp enough to negotiate that final deal.
