[00:00:00]Less than 24 hours after Carl Busch's death, his brother Kurt Busch made three shocking decisions to ensure Samantha Busch wouldn't receive a single penny.

[00:00:07]In newly released recordings, Kyle Busch revealed that he had a high fever and was coughing up blood two weeks before the race, but his wife not only didn't try to stop him, but also chose not to give him painkillers. Had he received treatment earlier, the tragedy could have been averted. Upon learning this, his brother immediately took remedial measures. First, he transferred $170 million to their parents' names. Carl Busch had spent most of his life in racing, possessing $62 million in real estate, $75 million in racing assets, and $33 million in cash. This effectively cut off Samantha Busch's inheritance. Second, he fought for custody of their two children. A change in custody would also mean losing any related property rights through the children, further reducing her rights.

[00:00:51]Finally, he proactively exposed Carl Busch's unusual behavior before his death. As a wife, Samantha failed to stop her husband from taking risks and pursuing his dream in time. The negative public opinion surrounding her made her situation pitiful and weakened her voice in the subsequent fight for the inheritance.
