[Serious] What are some weird or interesting facts about your families?

Gotta be slightly vague here cause otherwise it would be really easy to figure out the names of everyone involved.

Myad and uncle fled Petro Rico on multiple murder charges.

It was covered up by some distant relative who's a politician because my dad (who was a conman) blackmailed him by telling him if he didn't help, he's tell everyone about his (the politician's) criminal past.

Up until he was caught when I was 8, he was conning people all over the east coast. If anything ever caught up to him, he'd have my uncle "make the problem go away".

My uncle who was his muscle and protector was let off due to the fact that he has an obvious and severe mental disability and the courts took pity on him for the fact that my dad was clearly manipulating him into doing the shit he was doing. My dad was charged with all the comes he had my uncle commit. My dad was eventually murdered in prison. Without my uncle there, he ran his mouth and got stabbed in the chest.

Allegedly everyone knows who did it, but he was so universally disliked that prison guards looked the other way.

My abuella is also now loaded, as she was the maid of a very wealthy dude back in Puerto Rico. He had a monopoly of a niche industry that made him insanely rich. That guy was apparently my grandfather. Everyone suspected but no one knew for sure until he left her everything when he died.
