This is a sob story from someone who got wealthy from building an engine to finance crime.

There are paths towards redemption - the author could begin by donating every ill-gotten cent to a worthy charity.

What's that? Crickets? Thought so.

Theres this pattern where you make your wealth off dubious means, then one day become born again and start a new life where you gain more popularity and influence by speaking out against the reason you have a megaphone at all. These people interestingly never give away that naughty wealth they now regret so much.
