Boy killed by gangster, father sues, then father becomes gangster
Just thought it might be good to take a moment to point out this truly bizarre and ironic story.
When former administrative scrivener Shigeo Yamamoto lost his young son in a 1997 traffic accident involving a gang member, he was prepared for a full legal battle with the gangster. But it was contact with gang members during negotiations that led to his downfall, as he was arrested alongside another gang member for swindling an elderly woman out of her property.
