Can someone verify that he actually has a "Jewish mother?"
People can change, and he was a kid from an abusive home per the article.

No, he wasn't
He’s referring to the idea that Hitler may have been a quarter Jewish. Not sure where this study from 10 years ago ended up: https://www.history.com/news/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-had... There were a lot of articles about that and here’s a recent one: https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-was...
Not to mention this is standard ahistorical conspiracy theory fare.
This was so long ago and he hasn’t killed anyone or done any thing of the sort since then. Who cares ? It is up to the system to deal with him
The subject here, Patton, may be reformed, but there's a substantial possibility they are not and are using their ill-gotten money to fund further hate crime, or other anti-social racist activity.
Ouch. I'm sure this will destroy him financially and his reputation, but what if he actually turned his life around and is completely ashamed of this past? I don't want to come off like I support his past whatsoever, because I don't, but I feel there's no forgiveness left in our society to give people like this a second chance.

>"the system" has given life sentences to people for marijuana charges No it hasn't.

Society will generally forgive people of the things they do while young, even heinous things, provided they’re open and remorseful about what happened. But when you hide it there’s usually an opposite effect. Seems this founder is about the learn about that the hard way.
Why not hide it? If you did something very stupid at 17, something of which there is public record for everyone to find with a background check, do you still have to go around telling it to everyone for the rest of your life? You have paid for your stupidity and life goes on. In this case life has certainly moved on and it doesn't seem like he is secretly creating a 4th reich in his free time. Of course if you can do…
