This kind of thing isn’t necessarily bad faith or corruption, but it absolutely should have been disclosed and it’s a bad look for a major candidate for public office to have acted in a way that leaves them open to the charge that they are dishonest.

I worked at an amusement park. In the evenings we picked up litter in the parking lot. One night I found a lock mechanism that had been pried out of a stolen car. I gave it to the cops. Two weeks later they called with an update on MY stolen car. They’d transposed my name and the victim’s.
Em, midlyIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
This guy lured investors with a 165-page "essay" linked in the piece. It's absolute balderdash. Unverifiable claims, flawed historical analogies, purple prose. Honestly, getting a humanities education from a liberal arts college was the best decision I ever made. We should make college free.

After the Civil War, the Republicans' main national campaign message was, "the Democrats are the party of secessionist traitors" for THIRTY YEARS, and those thirty years saw Republican dominance of national government. Dems today rarely repeat something past a single news cycle.
David CornThis shows the gap between GOP & Dem. messaging. The Republicans NEVER stop pressing their false narratives. They bang the drums over & over. The Dems make their case & move on. They should have been non-stop pummeling Trump for Covid (and 1/6) for years, never letting anyone forget these sins.
Never in my life have I seen a journalist ask a business owner to shown them their books when the business claims that Policy X will force them to close or whatever.
