"All art is subjective." LegalEagle, can you stop subjecting us to her art? Thank you.
-
My deepest condolences for having to listen to her "rapping". Your sacrifice for our entertainment will be remembered.
-
Surprised she didnβt accidentally just admit to stealing that much Bitcoin in her rap videos. Those raps went hard asf
-
Bonnie and Clyde is an apt comparison because they were also really terrible at being criminals.
-
People still keep telling me about the "inherently anonymous nature" of the blockchain, which is the biggest piece of crap I've ever heard. Every transaction you make is permanently and publicly recorded. So if someone figures out your identity, you can never hide it again without taking down the entire blockchain. It's as not-anonymous as it gets.
-
"allegedly bordered on stupidity" has got to be the phrase of the week.
-
They stole either 4 000 000 000$ or 238,57$ depending of the time of the trial.
-
Iβm 36 years old and literally felt like I was 125 trying to understand the complexity of this scheme. Props to everyone who is able to grasp virtual currency while Iβm over here still paying with cash.
-
I think Bright Cellars offered to sponsor this video because they noticed LegalEagle going through an entire 6-bottle box in a few days just trying to black out and forget the alleged person's alleged raps.
-
The most embarrasing reveal in this entire debacle is the fact that FORBES actually hired this woman as a writer!
-
The actual take away from this is how hard it is to change Bitcoin into spendable cash
-
I have to admit, I laughed way too hard at "It's the equivalent of my boyfriend goes to a different school, in Canada, you wouldn't know him". Absolute marvellous humour.
-
After seeing how you handle Cardiβs raps, I must admit that I was teeming with excitement at the thought of you having your hand at these rhymes which are infinitely worse
-
Please do Laws Broken: Despicable Me 1-3. off the top of my head there is at least 1 manslaughter, 1 vehicular manslaughter, 2 attempted murders, a lot of child endangerment, and 1 very extreme HOA violation
-
"The government can more easily track your movement!" is not the idea most crypto advocates were touting. Feels like copium ngl

Life advice: Never trust anyone who refers to themselves as a "serial entrepreneur". If someone was invested in a ton of different places over the years, then that likely means one out of several things: 1: They are utterly incompetent and cannot keep a business alive but won't give up on the idea of being self-employed. 2: They are competent pump&dump investors. They buy a failing business for cheap, then try to spruce it up as a promising up-and-coming enterprise (mostly through disingenuous marketing as the company keeps dying), sell it at a profit and leave. Or they'll just use the assets of the company as security for taking on a loan they have no intention of paying back. As an investor, I wouldn't buy anything from such a person. As someone looking for a job, I'd look elsewhere. Remember: Someone who is really good at a job will likely stay in that job. If the job isn't working out for them and they leave, then an honest person won't try to sell their presence at that job as a big triumph.

Objection! Wouldn't the fact that you've suggested the accused should pay restitution for crimes against sensory organs imply you also be guilty of this same crime, given that you inflicted it upon your audience?
-
I feel like everyone who covers these two makes the joke that Heatherβs raps are a crime against humanity. AND THEYβRE ALL RIGHT.
