He hung around some bad people who got him into trouble, though, including two of his high school classmates who were little more than cheap thugs, along with Tracy Graham, who was also a troublemaker with a bad attitude.
To Graham's credit, he did clean up his act, managed to graduate, and has his own investment company now.
I'm a firm believer that anyone can be redeemed if he chooses to take that path and makes an honest effort.
