The crypto conmen got conned by the grifter in chief. Poetic justice at work 🙂
it blows my mind that so many wealthy people are so incredibly fucking stupid
Despite what rich people want you to believe you don’t actually have to be that smart to be rich. You just have to be lucky and ruthless. Being lucky enough to be born into the right family for example has a disproportionately bigger impact to becoming wealthy than your personal achievements. What you lack in luck or smarts you make up by being ruthless and steal and exploit. Your employees, your community, your government and so on.
People are acting like this man got conned or like they’re stupid. This was a bribe for a get out of jail free card. If you’re rich and make your money in black market ways this is the best possible decision you can make. Your name is on a list in front of the president even if you didn’t meet him. That means a pardon in the future.
Well, it is kind of stupid to complain publicly the way that this guy is doing. He’s wasting the little good-will from Trump that he did buy.
good-will from Trump
LOL
As in Trump saying “Good — will you be paying me again?”
“Influencer” is the load bearing word in the title.
In my experience, extreme wealth is a sign of one or more of: inherited wealth, lack of morality, lack of empathy, lack of humility, lack of self-reflection, or luck. In most cases these people are simply so broken that they’ll justify exploiting other people to get what they want in ways that people with morals simply refuse to.
Intelligence isn’t a major factor.
Also they’re willing to spend millions of dollars on a dinner like this because what’s the downside? Losing that money won’t affect their lifestyle in any way. Worst-case scenario, they get a story out of it. Best-case scenario, they get face time with the most powerful person on the planet and maybe a sympathetic ear if they get in trouble with the law (since all of them are privately breaking the law in some way).
honestly imo luck is involved no matter what… maybe other than inherited wealth
Inherited wealth is still luck in a sense. They happened to be the lucky one in their rich dad’s balls while I had the bad luck of being in the balls of a drunk asshole
That’s a shame…
I find it funny that conmen think there’s some kind of solidarity pact between them.
Used to be “honor among thieves” or something like that but these guys are so much lower than thieves
It’s timeshares all the way down.
What exactly is wrong with timeshares? Seems like collective ownership is a good thing.
Traditionally its a combo of the sales tactics, administration fees that become burdensome, and contract termination difficulties.

This is how we end drought, people! Cry those salty— aw crap. That’s not gonna work.
lol. The fuck did these cunts expect?
When exactly did society decide to give the dumbest people on earth, all the money?
I’ve got bad news for you about what that says about the rest of us lol.
That we have morals?
We were the ones that allowed it to happen. We’re all part of society, after all.
This is the consequence of capitalism and intergenerational wealth
They inherited it from their parents, and because they were rich, they didn’t bother getting an education
There’s more to it than that but of course that is a large part of it. We live in a society that prefers to reward a confident idiot to a pensive expert; essentially we reward dunning krueger.
You’re in a cult, you are in a pyramid scheme, you are LARPing being rich/person with power & money. Stop being a fool, you are making yourself an enemy of the state by basic human standards and you will lose so much and you’ll suffer like the rest of us. Wake up.
Lol, lmao even.
Roflmao?
Can I interest you in a roflcopter
Careful, that meme is old enough to smoke and vote soon.
As long as it doesn’t vote for a moron
My friend, that meme is about to graduate college
Perhaps.
Roflmao
The best mao.
Roflmao did nothing wrong.
Sounds like the dinner was on Fyre…
They went to a grifter’s grift and got grifted, then made Pikachu faces.
LOL at the people still trusting that old crook. I’m not even angry at Trump any more. He’s clearly off his fucking rocker and just scamming as much as he can like he always does. I’m angry at every member of congress that isn’t impeaching him immediately, at every judge not holding him in contempt of court, and at the media for continuing to handle him with kid gloves.
