NSW: Rene Rivkin, a Sydney Stockbroker took his own life after a several of years of abuse by the courts, prisons and other people in governmental institutions.Rene suffered periodic depression like his father who committed suicide, and like his father he took his own life.
Rene was attacked for his wealth. Others envious of his success lambasted and manipulated him in the media. When he supposedly made a small mistake in his multi million-dollar business from which he is accused of making $400.00 profit he was found guilty of insider trading and sent to prison.
It was clear during his court appearances that he was mentally ill. In prison he collapsed and was rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Surgery for this commenced but right after this he was forced back to prison to finish his sentence. He then sank into a severe depression from which he did not emerge spending his term in the prison hospital.
The faceless people in government institutions are still investigating his business affairs fuelling the rumour mills of the Australian media accusing him of making illicit profit from insurance when a printing factory burnt down after a staff barbecue.
If Rene Rivkin did wrong his wrongs appear trifling, insignificant compared to the wrongs of his accusers did to him. They killed Rene Rivkin with callousness fuelled by envy.
