Following a family dispute, Robert Foisie, a billionaire businessman, reportedly paid a hit man $200,000 to kill his eldest son, Michael. Supposedly, Foisie’s children had decided to remove him from his managing position in the family’s investment company, and Foisie sought revenge. In addition to this newest legal drama, Foisie faces multiply lawsuits across the country from Massachusetts to Nevada as well as allegations of wire fraud and tax evasion. Additionally, Foisie’s ex-wife filed a lawsuit in March, alleging that the billionaire concealed $4.5 million from her during their divorce proceedings.
