What might you postulate to be some middling outcome?

What sort of sport do you view it as? These mutherfuckers are playing the game of life for real in the big leagues.

I don’t view it as a sport at all, and anyone in the US who thinks of themselves as a spectator is wrong.

I try to publish something every morning. Occasionally publication is delayed until lunchtime, after I’ve had coffee or a bran muffin. Always good to meet a colleague working in the same medium.

He might want to learn to protect his nethers a bit better before the obstruction-of-justice and witness tampering sentences get handed down.

Hm…younger man with an affinity for taking shirtless pics of himself, and an older man allowing himself to get involved in a hair-brained scheme that will put him in jail. Zipper down.

I wouldn’t bet a large sum of money, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t some more scandal to this story.

This is a fun bit from that Twitter thread too:

Wohl sees a bus outside and posts this: [“Bussed in MOB”](https://twitter.com/JacobAWohl/status/1058018635204173825)

Followed immediately by our intrepid reporter, a keen-eyed witness if there ever was one: [“Lol the bus left”](https://twitter.com/jaredlholt/status/1058022344172756992)

World-renowned fashion designer Carolyne Cass joined Twitter today. It’s a parody account.

I’m calling it now - this chick is actually Jacob Wohl catfishing.

> <https://twitter.com/bitburner/status/1058104327485542400>

It’s supposedly his ex-girlfriend, but if you follow the train into crazytown in this thread, you will see there is a good possibility they are using the identity of Carolyne Cass without her knowledge:

> <https://twitter.com/cbouzy/status/1058109416170536960>

_Dons tinfoil hat._

Basically Jacob does know a Carolyne and that’s her in the pic. However, this “other” lady was his girlfriend and claims to not be Carolyne. That filter tho? In her avi? Completely a snapchat one that could make “Carolyne” look like “Alina”. Also, “Caroline” is outed on one of the threads as using a Russian model’s pic as her own, meaning she’s already catfished in the past…or her identity has been used to do so. That latter is way worse since that means she’s doubly been used, but who knows.

To stand by prior statements of mine, I would like the FBI to investigate these accusations fully to ensure no crimes have been committed.
