Why’s he doing it? Why is one of the most passionate Miami fans willing to kill Miami? Because he’s in (in prison), his old friends (players, coaches, administrators) are out there and almost none of them will take his call anymore.
Let there be no mistake about his motivation to talk – he’s bitter and wants to inflict pain anyway he can.
They were once his friends, he said. They were once eager to accept his help out of trouble, drink his booze and fish off his boat. Now they won’t acknowledge him. They won’t help him. They won’t support him, financially, emotionally or anything else. He’s threatened some of them that he’d bring this story to light if they didn’t step up, a move some will consider extortion or blackmail.
Shapiro doesn’t care. He can’t be hurt any more than he already is.
“We always said we were family,” Shapiro said. “Be consistent with me. Don’t take my money when you need help and then turn your back when I need help. This is what boys do for each other.”
So he sits in this hellhole and it all boils over.
“[Expletive] them,” he spits.
This is vengeance born from desperation.
“[Expletive], [expletive], [expletive], [expletive] them.”
Hell hath no fury like a one-time rich guy on the Alpha 5-East tier.
