Mr. Leighton wears other jewelry besides the jockey lapel pin. He sports an owl lapel pin from time to time, wears a wedding band and a watch. The Leightons sold Ralph Esmerian an overpriced collection...pity. Ralph is a nice man who is terrible with money. Murray preyed on him, with the help of his cronies at Merrill Lynch and Ralph was, in short, hoodwinked. Leighton always broke the rules, and got out of the business after getting caught cheating on taxes the second or third time. The Swiss bank account is dwindling, since his unemployed son in law and daughter spend faster than he can withdraw the funds.
