Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Honestly it seems to have helped him in weird ways. I even kept forgetting how old he is, and a lot of media also kind of kept talking about him like he was some kind of child. At a certain point, I almost think his team and he himself made sure to not "clean him up." Just keep the look of some tech startup kid that never puts time into hygiene and too focused on the "go fast, break things" shit. He knew what he was doing, his parents knew (and encouraged it while demanding their cuts), and at least the others that were at the top also knew. This wasn't just some minor error (aside getting caught and thinking they could get it back). I also see it as the logical next step for what more traditional bank fraud assholes already do. Just done by people that don't actually know how to be smarter with the greed and the grift.
Another example of "smart" people in one field thinking they are "smart" about everything. Hubris and the false sense of intelligence (and especially the "fake it till you make it" shit we see in all fields these days) is going to be getting worse as everyone is in the bubble of "yes men" and trying to climb fucking ladders into positions they have no understanding of. But that is more a rant of how capitalism is in for a real real bad crash, and no one knows how to do shit anymore (most importantly the fucks wanting power and money for the clout).
