LOS ANGELES - A 79-year-old man gave more than US$400,000 ($587,027) to the people of Los Angeles in his will but snubbed his five siblings by leaving them only one dollar each.
Theodore DiFiore died in 1990, leaving assets including a petrol station and an auto repair shop. "I think he was just a ornery guy," said his lawyer Robert Pasquinelli.
