      I remember the first few videos I saw years back. At first I thought this “UM KAAAAAY” dude was a CLASSIC flat affected, unemotional counselor. Who knew he had a irreverent , sardonic, twisted wit, leaving us shocked and cramped up with laughter! Like being with the coolest professor in the university.

    Wow... The part at the end where he said "she developed a plan to have Ben's money, without the inconvenience of having Ben" stuck with me. She was a predator. Meanwhile he only wanted her for sex and secured another source so no longer had use for her. Two narcissists together will always wind up killing one another.

      Ummm erm, I was with you until the end but what!? Two narcissists always end up *killing* one another?? On what basis do you say this? You know there are way way less murders than there are pairs of narcissists, so just math cannot add up. In any case, since you said always only one counter example can prove this wrong and I know at least one pair that haven’t killed each other. And can think of some who haven’t killed each other yet for several decades.
      You may want to try to make your points without bizarre levels of hyperbole. Unless you actually think in this irrational manner which I hope not.

      it was a good line but heres the truth of it: everybody's a predator, if you take the word apart, to plan or intend ahead of time to get whatever. so its to manipulate. to intend. "my minister saw i would be a good congregant, generous with myself and money, and went out of his way to make me want to pick his church" . so, i think you would have to actually take the word apart and alot a definition to two parts of the word to get the least judgemental meaning.

    Every person I have known who was left handed and forced to "be" right handed as a child developed stuttering and extreme unpleasantness. One boy (his school was forcing the change) had a complete change in personality and stopped stuttering when a doctor discovered the problem and his parents put a stop to it. Everything about him improved. It was common then for teachers to force left handed students to "be" right handed. Glad that was stopped.

      I knew a few people (mainly relatives) who were born in the 40’s/50’s/60’s & are left handed, but were forced to write right handed at school. None of them had stutters or had personality changes.
      Though I do agree we shouldn’t force people to use their right hand if the left is more comfortable, there’s just no good reason to.

      Why do you feel bad about yourself? Try to focus on the good things you have. List all the good things in your life. Then list all the actual bad things. You’ll probably see the bad things list pales in comparison. You’ll probably add more and more good things to the good list as you think about this more.

    I worked at the hotel during this time period. The hotel was in decline. Fewer famous people were performing there. I occasionally had to go to Ben jr apartment, for various reasons. I found him to be paranoid and over zealous about security issues. He had a body guard. I suspected drugs may have been an issue. He was detached about the running of the hotel. It's no wonder his father sold his legacy.

      Do you recall Ben Sr. was the first to put a black person, a woman at the front desk. I believe her name was Dean Swain, she was a very tall striking attractive woman and would eventually marry a European and I think settled there. She had a sister that also worked at the hotel whose name don't recall but she was there for many years. I was a kid of 12 when I first stayed there but spent a lot of time at the hotel during the next ten years. Do you recall Walter the elevator operated, a pale-skinned gray-haired Cuban man who had worked at the hotel from the day it opened which he had been very proud of.

    Ben Novack Jrs will which was probated provided that if Ben's mother did not survive, Ben's estate would go to his wife Narcy. If neither his mother nor his wife survived him, then Narcy's daughter would receive $150,000, and the residue of the estate would be held in trust for Narcy's two grandsons.

    "Was Ben Novack, Jr. a Bear?": Once an anthropologist and his informant visited a cave in California. The site was an ancient site governed by ritual guardians. The anthropologist asked his informant, "What's the drawing on the wall?" and Hector said it's the picture of a bear during a hunt. "Oh, I thought it might be a man hunting a bear?" The informant said, "Bear or man, it's the same." This statement is revealed here in the case of Ben Novack Jr. Ben was hunted by his wife and her friends. Or was he hunting for a wife and a good time? It's actually the same. This is why "murder" in the legal system always misses the point of killing. Yes, of course, now that we're all "civilized" we can use the term "murder." But what's actually happening, always and already, now as I write this, is the hunt, the eternal hunt. Mankind tries to live beyond the hunt but constantly fails. We are still living in prehistoric times. History is only a drawing on a cave wall. Thank you for reading.

    Hearing about his upbringing, and how the family pronounces the name of the hotel, I thought Novack would be the killer. It also seems a lot of those that kill and are criminals were/are interested in cop work. I like the plot twist here.

    • @mileshalpern9320

      I stayed at the hotel often and had loads of friends that would have school holidays and head down to the resort. Ben would have been welcome to hand out with us, he was my age, but he wanted to hang out with the security team and walk around with a walkie talkie. I was probably the only one of my friends that spoke with him and he was very brief in replying. Ben playing security guard, wasn't nice to us kids, but if one went out there way as I did to humanize him and say hello and speak to him once in a while, he was withing range of being normally mannered. As I indicated in a comment I saw him last perhaps in the 1990s or 2000. He was talkative and friendly the last time I saw him, as if we had been friends back in the day. I did inform him that my family friend's brother Louis had been his good friend in adulthood sometime after the hotel had closed, in his own right he had made friends with Ben and had mentored him (he was much older than me hence much older than Ben). That friendship waned and ceased because Ben was treating people when they were out will less than proper manners.
      Ben looked great the last time I saw him, he had not been attractive whatsoever as kid, but had grown into his looks, carried himself far better, and was sweet. Poor guy, had such a terrible ending and that woman is a witch.
      Ben obviously was into very weird stuff but with that said, he struck me as a guy that couldn't find a place for himself. The stepdaughter, after reading the story, it seems has a strong bond to him and not her mom so I hope that made him happy.

      I knew Ben albeit not well. He was lost as a teenager but when I saw him last he appeared to be happy. We spoke briefly, and he seemed fine, asking me questions not merely speaking of himself. We were not friends when were young, but he knew me and I knew him as I was at the hotel constantly for a few years when my dad was making a lot of money, additionally and coincidentally, a close friend of my family had a brother who would later be a close friend of Ben's but broke off the friendship because Ben was not well mannered when they were in public. The man I am speaking of was very heavy and he and Ben would travel South Florida eating at different establishments but Ben became unbearable ad he wasn't nice to waiters and others. He wasn't a bad guy as I recall, and I later recall being told by our family friend, and thought when I saw him last probably around `1998, but what a tough life the prince of the Fontainebleau turned out to have. I dreamed of being Ben Novak's son. What a blessing that I had my dad who was a character but a decent man and devoted family man.
      I read somewhere along the line that Ben's father, Ben Sr. had adopted a child with his first wife and once divorced had little to do with the child who would wind up living homeless and apparently quite mentally ill. Not sure if this story was true, I read it along time ago.

    They just wanted the money and a life of luxury, hopefully justice is serve, rest in peace Ben x
