I know France popularized the Guillotine, but what was the highest profile case of an American fucking around and finding out?
Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman-Freid, and Martin Shkreli come to the top of mind. Maybe Bernie Maddoff?
Brian Thompson and Alex Jones are the only example of rich people falling from grace because of people in a different class that I can think of. Most examples like Elizabeth got clapped because they played class warfare tactics against their own team. Grifting is only allowed against the poor, otherwise it’s called securities fraud.
How about the owner of Trump Burger getting deported?
Oh. I guess he’s nowhere near the richest, I gave him extra credit for irony.
The irony on this one was chefs kiss
Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton was shot and killed in a duel for insulting Vice President at the time, Aaron Burr.
Can we add Kennedy (Vietnam) and Lincoln (Slavery) too? Or were their FO not related to their FA?
Maybe the highest profile cases have yet to occur. Here’s hoping.
And on that note I can think of several. I mean not just those I wish consequences on, but those where this is also likely to occur.
Brian Thompson
Taking this opportunity to inform anyone that didn’t hear the suppressed news about the CEO of the real estate investment company Blackstone was killed this year.
The CEO of a specific fund that Blackstone operates, yes. And she was killed by someone targeting the NFL headquarters, who blamed football and CTE for some of his issues.
He clearly wasn’t targeting the NFL
He suffered from mental health and physical issues, blamed it on CTE, left a note requesting that his brain be examined for CTE, and was diagnosed with CTE after his death. All that is consistent with targeting the NFL headquarters in that building.
Someone who plans out this kind of shooting doesn’t go to the wrong floor, I’m sorry you have such a hard time understanding you are being lied to.
