It is well known that the founder of the famous lingerie line was Gaye Raymond.  Raymond founded the stores and sold the company before it reached it’s full potential and before it became the empire that it is now.  Since he sold it too early he lost out on a lot of money and watched it grow to its potential in someone else’s hands. After trying several things to make money he found himself losing money and depressed.  He took his life. Hit the jump for details on why. Steph Bassanini
