That is too bad. I will admit to taking advantage of his library from time to time.

"Information wants to be free." - Simon Brand 1984
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Yeah, $31 million USD in less than a year is fairly decent ;)

The way they went about getting that figure is a bit shady, they posed as an person wanting to by ad space and offered him a large figure. And since he accepted they are saying he sold all is ad space for that price... I doubt the claim of 32 million but we shall probably never actually know.

He was probably laundering money for drug dealers..


What he should've done is attempted to up his clientele..

You don't see money launderers for the Super-Rich and Powerful ever getting caught or getting into trouble they can't get out of....
