Yeah. I want to burn most billionaires as much as the next guy but… This is hardly even newsworthy.

ONE OF THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD MAKING FRAUDULENT INVESTMENTS DUE TO BLATANT CONFLICT OF INTEREST is NOT newsworthy to you?

  Just curious, how is it fraudulent? Who’s being defrauded? Did I miss something?

    The people that invested the money that was funneled into a bullshit company, of course…and if it was his personal money, it’s his family that is being defrauded. His wife will have an excellent divorce settlement if she wants it. Investing money solely because you’re fucking the CEO of a company is fraud, whether you want to admit (between licks of the boot) or not.

    I guess I missed the bit where the company was a bullshit one…because it’s not. Also, the two were romantically linked because they watched a Virgin Galactic launch together. Imply that I’m a bootlicker all you want, but that’s a pretty tenuous “romantic” link. Regardless of whether or not he’s banging her, it isn’t fraud. Sorry to burst your bubble.
    
    Criticizing billionaires for dumb non-stories just waters down the real reasons we should be critical of them and makes us look like fools; like PETA criticizing Obama for killing a fly.

  Yes. Not really newsworthy. Lot of problems with the wealthy on this planet. Lots of reasons that we need to start burning down their houses as I was just saying somewhere else.
  
  This? Meh.

  Can’t speak for the person you’re responding to, but honestly no, not really? Like, of course it’s a big deal that this stuff happens, but it’s so common that every individual story just seems obvious. It should def be recorded when we find those instances if not just for proof, but I personally just don’t care about seeing it my news. Especially when it seems pretty off topic for the technology sub.
