@LiberalLibrarian: If I read correctly, he got some large fee up front for licensing his name and likeness and gets between 20 to 50% after the sales, and then he gets a cut of whatever the dupes that bough them sell them for later.
I posted a story by Kurt Eichenwald within the past hour. He unraveled the web of companies and shell companies that comprise the whole thing, and it reads like you might expect.
@p_terg @LiberalLibrarian: Yes, he's said he's running in 2024, and yes, people will vote for him. Yes, if/when he loses, he and they will claim it was stolen. None of that is a surprise to anyone. Word is that the smart money is on that he's running to lose the election but to land a huge cash haul to coast on for a few years, which has been his MO for the last nearly forty years.
