How could my dad lose so much money so quickly?

Anonymous

I found out today that my father lost the majority of his retirement savings roughly $200,000 us dollars.

He wouldn't tell me how, just Said he doesn't want to talk about the issue, understandably it's caused him a lot of agony. I'm just puzzled as how he lost the money, he doesn't drink or gamble, is in a full time relationship.

How could he have lost that much money In a couple of months? I'm absolutely puzzled, he has usually been pretty good with decision making, and it's extremely out of character for this to happen.

He has also been battling Parkinson's disease over the last 10 years, which mighy have affected his decision making.

But what could he have invested in? Or done to lose such a high amount in a small period of time? This is crazy thinking about it, and I can't get any answers out of him.
