A little confused. He is listed on an above link as Charles C. (Sandy) Wilkes. If the C. is for Cafritz, then it is a MIDDLE name, not a last name. A first-cousin perhaps? It would be his mother married a Wilkes.
"his adopted son, Sandy Wilkes (Helen), and his daughter, Pamela Cafritz"
Wow. Good find. I still don't know why he goes by Wilkes if they adopted him.
agreed. it's curious, as the Cafritz name carries serious weight...but from his positions, he's made a good name for himself anyway.
curious, as he's got some pretty nasty company on both sides (by choice - the podesta group, and by relation, his sister's lover), and so it wouldn't seem that a) his family has shunned him for some dark secret or b) he's trying to get away from some memory of family wrongdoing.

He was adopted by William N. Cafritz and Buffy Cafritz.
Then William and Buffy had Pamela.

Pamela ran off with Raniere, breaking off an engagement...but clearly stayed in touch with her older (but adopted) brother.
