I wonder what it’s like to be that divorced from reality. This is definitely example of that, but jeepers creepers, what a joke of a person.

I think you hit the nail square on. When you’re ultra rich (even fake, ultra rich, but still really, really rich), it is a very different reality than 99% of people.
Yeah that fake (AI-generated?) SBF sketch doesn’t even look like something drawn in the same media; it looks like it’s meant to be ink and watercolor instead of the pastels Rosenberg and other courtroom artists typically use.
Paint me like one of your French girls, Jack.
That headline epitomizes our current historical era better than anything I’ve seen in a long time.
