Hm... I wonder how accurate it is/was to forfeit his whole estate for murdering 3 crewmates who were found by the same comission as mutineers. This doesn't really make sense in my opinion as I guess under other (normal) circumstances during a ship's voyage the killing of mutineers in self defense is for sure an approbriate act in order to maintain the ship's and crew's safety. It would make more sense that his estate was forfeit because of his suicide which is basically identical to abandoning the ship; arguably the worst thing a captain can do. This would explain it to me.
