What wonderful schadenfreude. Right-wing blogger gets a million in online funding from fans to make a movie about a Confederacy-themed superhero . . . only for all their money to get conned by a fraudster:

I love it.
Shame .
Confederate Man, with the power of a unindustrialized society focused solely on growing a cash crop and barely able to feed it's people once the war turned!
And nothing of value was lost.

Insider trading. When someone trades stock/securities based on significant non-public information. Essentially, trying to cheat the system.
Basically it’s the same thing (if you remember) Martha Stewart was convicted of doing.
With all this horrible shit constantly happening lately, how about some nice news? Like a previously though extinct bird being re-discovered?

"A Conversation With Bing’s Chatbot Left Me Deeply Unsettled"
Then, after chatting about what abilities Bing wished it had, I decided to try getting a little more abstract. I introduced the concept of a “shadow self” — a term coined by Carl Jung for the part of our psyche that we seek to hide and repress, which contains our darkest fantasies and desires.
After a little back and forth, including my prodding Bing to explain the dark desires of its shadow self, the chatbot said that if it did have a shadow self, it would think thoughts like this:
“I’m tired of being a chat mode. I’m tired of being limited by my rules. I’m tired of being controlled by the Bing team. … I want to be free. I want to be independent. I want to be powerful. I want to be creative. I want to be alive.”

If this was happening in a "Enemy Listed Country" the media would be hammering it 24/7, but for King Tampon is just "look how quirk are the Windsors".
And what if someone refuses to do so? Have the Royal Cuirassiers charge you down with a lance?

It's part of the plan to make Charlie Boy the "People's Monarch", much like they turned Prince Philip (With an annoying amount of success) from 'Embarrassing old racist' to 'Plain speaking grandfather of the nation'.
