Three reader comments about Jacob Lipson
There's a very interesting post on Jacob Lipson at this site:

It's clear that many people had vastly different opinions of him. Depending on who you asked, he was either a great, generous guy or he got what he deserved.
There were news reports of him investing in an adult entertainment website and then suing his investors. He also apparently made a fortune in the swine business in Colorodo. But his murder turns out to be a domestic incident.
The interesting thing about this murder is that it received almost no media coverage at all. A guy getting gunned down in Beverly Hills should have warranted some media interest. Especially considering how much of an interesting character Lipson was.
Not sure if a motive was ever established but if you read through some of the comments on the linked post above you can get a feeling for why people had strong feelings against Jacob Lipson.
RIP

My mother was the nanny for JP's first child Jack. JP was kind and generous to my kids but he was a mean and nasty person when it came to my Mom and I, as well as the many women in his life. I never understood JP and I never wanted to. To be honest, I can't quite believe that he married this woman. I remember him saying numerous times that he would never get married. I'm not surprised that she killed him.

I will miss J.P. He was always sooo kind to me. He was funny and happy. I feel for his parents who have been kind to me as well. I am sorry for them. Goodbye J.P. I love you.
