4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Someone really needs to sic a team of forensic accountants on this asshole.

I'd like to see what those people spend all that money on.

I mean I luckily don't often have trouble making ends meet, but apart from buying a place to live in, I don't know how they can spend that much. I currently have to spend a lot because of renovation work, but I suspect that's not the reason. In normal times, my "big" spends would be... maybe big home appliances, or vacations (that's a European thing)... If I went really wild, I could maybe conceive of spending... 15 000€ in a month (not that I could really afford it, but at least I could find stuff to do it).

Beyond that, I just don't have any ideas.

It's got to be people, right? All I can think is maybe he has a personal chef, personal trainer, staff like that that he has to pay?

Didn't think about staff. A trainer to shape him into a more smelly asshole would make sense. That would be costly.
