Biography[]

Book[]

In the book, Meyer was contacted by Nick to attend the funeral. Immensely saddened, Meyer said no, citing that he tries not to get involved once someone has died. He'd rather show his respects, gratitude, and generosity when they are alive than when they're not. It's a testament to how smart of a criminal he was in that he kept his "exposure" to an absolute minimum, always under the radar.
