There was a great movie with Richard Prior in it Called Brewsters Millions.
It had a neat premise so I want to update the premise:
You have 1 week to spend 40 Million $ US
You then have one month to spend 400 Million Dollars US
You may not own any assets or gain any income
you cannot destroy anything of inherent value
and you cannot give any of it away
you must end up at 0 dollars
can this premise work in todays world to gain access to 4 Billion
Go to one of those stupid "name a star" businesses and register the entire universe in your name (I'm sure you'd be able to get a bulk discount). You're paying for a service and receiving absolutely nothing of value in return.
Hire a massive team of private investigators to dig up dirt on every politician running and then release it and fuck up that entire election cycle. Information is deemed to have no value so...ya know...blammo. Now gimme my $4 billion.
I'll direct bank transfer it to Joshua Moon. At the very least I hope he establishes a physical farm where lolcows can move and live in communal disharmony with free food/internet/rent and Big Brother style web feeds in every communal space.
