Shame for his kids that he killed himself. From what I read, it looked like he could have got off with as little as 5 years in prison, probably less for good behaviour, then pay a whole bunch of fines. From the looks of his properties I'm sure he could have handled the fines.
He could have at least tried to defend himself, and if he got the max sentence of 25 years then maybe hanging yourself would be the correct choice. But obviously he had some other mental issues to do what he did.
