@Mik said in Bribing Lake?:
No one offered a billion dollars. Shall we speculate on what you might do for a billion?
She said she wouldn’t for a billion dollars.
@jon-nyc said in Bribing Lake?:
She said she wouldn’t for a billion dollars.
So she knew it was being recorded.
I was only joking

You could affect a lot of change according to your principles, with a billion dollars. Buy a mainstream newspaper or something. Also, a billion dollars affords you the freedom and perspective to realize how silly your principles were in the first place. The desperate attempt to fashion meaning in an existence constrained by finances. Who needs principles when you're rich?

I'd definitely vote for Donald Trump for a billion dollars. Possibly twice.
Hell, I'd even be tempted to vote for Nigel Farage for that much - from the safety of another country, obviously.

Okay, this has to be staged or AI generated.

Dude, you don't regularly deal in business with people who record their conversations?

No, not really. I hardly do anything via the phone any more - it's all video link, which can be recorded, or email.
Obviously, she was the one who brought up 1 billion, not him. The conversation sounded kind of bogus to me.

At a certain level (and it wasn't much level), I swam with sharks. I recorded every in-person office conversation and several of the phone calls. I also saved any important emails to thumb drive.

Let's see what DeWitt says. He must address it somehow.

In other words, he did it.

Yup.
Staged or not, how do you explain the "People back East who want you to sit this out and are willing to put their money where their mouth is?"
He said those words.
Give me an alternative explanation.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

That sounds like a line from a Scorsese film.
