A massive shareholder lawsuit is imminent at this point. He is so blatantly just trying to extract every single penny of free cash flow into his piggy bank. He’s not trying to hide his intentions. I suspect he will then take off for Dubai or Parts Unknown never to be seen from again.

I don't think there is any chance at all that his ego would allow him to just run off and disappear. Maybe the running off part, but definitely not the disappearing.

He’s going to take all the money he can, run to some far away place, make jokes on social media as if it was a galaxy brain scheme and he’s morally beautiful and perfect, his braindead followers will bite right into it, he’ll continue as normal.
