    So here’s the thing, I am 99.99% with you on your sentiment.

    But then I have to ask myself, “HOW TF is that even possible? Or was there more to it? Was that the plan ? Did he gain something bigger from doing it?”

    I’m not saying he’s some genius we just can’t comprehend. I’m saying he’s a criminal and I wouldn’t put anything off the table.

    But yeah, he’s probably just that shitty at business; but still? I hate this timeline.
