I mean I dislike the guy as much as you, but almost all of his “wealth” is paper wealth. He may very well not be able to liquidate 2% of his wealth (fine with me).
He doesn't have to liquidate shit, none of them do. They borrow against their holdings.
Point is that if I commit fraud or steal anything over 10 dollars I might go to jail
This guy lies steals and cheats by the billions and he gets a hug
Jail the motherfucker already
Reminds me of the same defense some people make in divorce court
Paper wealth and theoretical wealth, he will have to borrow that $2B using paper value as collateral.
