* AssholeVictim: The victim, Charles, turned out to be a corrupt stockbroker who forced his inferiors to sleep with him to get ahead; cheated countless innocent, desperate people out of thousands, maybe millions of dollars; slept with a woman to get her to invest in a fraud company, and even tricked her son into thinking they were in love before coldly breaking up with him and breaking his heart.
