Yeah, talk about taking advantage of someone's wonderful kind & generous nature, just unconscionable,
I often think of Joey. Lord knows we need way more Joeys, and far less, CMs in this world.
When the good one is taken, and the evil one remains, we all lose as a society overall.
I think that is one of the reasons it upsets me so much when it was speculated that Joey's company was sham. Ugh.
Its obvious he poured his heart, and soul, into making his company successful in order for his family's future to be more secure. To know he had accomplished those goals, and then have it all ripped away from them is heart shattering.
Imo, one of the reasons he murdered Joey is because he had the same mindset of a domestic violence abuser. One who thinks if they cant have the victim then no one else will either.
It was the same concept, except CM felt if he was being cutout of the big money making ventures to come, then he would make sure Joey, and his family never got to receive any of the money either. CM knew by destroying Joey he had also destroyed Joey's company.
Joey was a man's man, and the perfect best guy friend to have. He was loyal, trustworthy, supportive, and honest. He was also a devoted husband, and father, who wanted everyone to know how much he loved his wife, and 3 children.
How I wish Joey could have found a trustworthy best friend who always knew how blessed they were to be known as his best friend.
Imo. Like so many good hearted people, Joey thought if he treated CM, with respect, and fairness, it would change CM, and he would finally become a productive worker who knew caring for his family must always remain his top priority over all else.
But just like many of the other kind, and caring people, who reached out to help others, it wound up they were grossly abused, and even murdered by the very one they tried to help the most.
