The Saturnalian Shrink

Today’s case is another story of a 'Leonardo da Vinci of mental manipulation.’ An American Thierry Tilly, my friends. Only this time, our villain was a person who was supposed to be there to help, a person who should’ve been there to listen, to give advice, and to make life better for people who were suffering. Today, I tell the story of how a regular-old psychiatrist convinced a millionaire to hand over the keys to a mansion, plus all of his money, and then convinced this no-longer-millionaire to work as his handyman. I think that Marty’s first mistake was trusting anyone called Dr. Ike. But maybe that’s just me.
