I'd like to quote from his older son Jesse Jr when he was asked by his wife Patricia what happened to his dad(the great Bear of Wall Street):
Nina(Livermore's 4-th wife and his last one) had 4 previous marriages, all of her husbands commited suicide, statistically important fact?Pat, for my father the game was over as he knew it. The players had changed, the SEC rules had changed, and times had changed." He paused,"But maybe it was more than that, maybe his spirit was broken. Like a dog - you know how you can break of a dog, and the dog is no good anymore? Maybe that's what happened. He told me once that he only lost money when he stopped following his own rules. I think he has stopped playing the game correctly, and that bothered him most of all. He was off his form, his mind was fuzzy. After his divorced Mom and moved out of Evermore, thing went bad for him. It was like she was his good luck, and when she was gone, his good luck was gone. He had nobody to go to, no friends, and nowhere to go, no place to get any peace. And Nina(his last 4-th wife) was a killer bitch. She smothered him, devoured his spirit with her negativity...She hated Paul and me; anything that got between her and Dad, she hated. She pushed him deeper and deeper into the blackness"....
