lol

is there an implication here?
So Theo Von had a half-bro named Roland Jr. who was nearly 30 yrs older. He worked at Texas Instruments, was a major developer in NOLA, and owned the nightclub Tipitina’s as well as the Orpheum Theater for a time. In 2019, he may have been “suicided” in a “shooting accident”
👀
He had sold his stake in both venues months earlier (he helped renovate the Orpheum after Katrina—btw, I think he may have owned Fats Domino’s old home and an adjacent music studio, too). The reason he sold off his holdings was bc he was majorly embattled: A Jesuit priest accused him of running the Tipitina’s Foundation, which apparently provided musical instruments to kids, as a Ponzi scheme to enrich himself. He was facing multiple lawsuits related to various dev schemes, including from his sister and her sons, AND… the DOJ and F•B•I had initiated a probe against him. This is a cursory glossing of the snowballing scandals that led to the reported “shooting accident” on his property in Mississippi that left the 68 year old dead.
