Controversy
Though Doug has been able to keep himself away from the controversy, the same is not the case for his son, Ethan. In 2005, Ethan got fired from Circle T Partners, where he worked as a processing clerk.
He was involved in unauthorized trading, which caused the company to lose 8.5 Million USD. The company even sued him for this, which Ethan settled by paying 50 thousand USD as settlement.
