    He has several million dollars in actual cash in his bank accounts. I’d wager a lot of money on it being an actual misunderstanding for the simple reason there is no item in target he’d find worth stealing or helping someone else steal rather than swiping a card. The most expensive item target carries is a 20 ft artifical tree which costs 20k and I don’t think fit in a bag at self checkout. The whole thing stems from “rumors” precisely because nothing was reported or written down yet everyone’s immediately citing theft.

      Bro rich people steal small shit the most. It’s not about the value of the items.

      90% of people that had rich friends in high school have stories about those rich friends stealing all the time.

        Those aren’t rich friends. Those are “well off” kids. This dude has more liquid cash than all but a maybe a million Americans. Peopel view their friends families with million dollar houses as rich. Thats not rich.

      You over estimate people’s values and ethics. Celebrities and millionaires try to steal and rip people off all the time.

        No, no, no; it’s only capitalist pigs who steal from the people, not the down-to-earth multi-millionaire sports, music, and media stars we idolize and pedestalize.

      That’s because that is your mindset. Some people grew up with nothing and know to steal. Some people are just cleptos. You can have all the money in the world and still get a thrill from stealing some tic tacs from target.
