The billions number has always been in dispute, but I’m not suggesting he couldn’t pay some hypothetical person. I’m suggesting his roladex doesn’t have a specific person to call to do this & without this how do you get it done?

I disagree with the assertion that reading gets the job done. He was using signal. He read something about encrypted messaging.

When the feds came calling it wasn’t enough. You need highly specialized skills.

He's a braggart and not a great businessman considering the head-start he had, IMO, but that is irrelevant. Whether he has $3 billion or $10 Billion, he's still super rich, private jet rich for life. Even his children can sit by a beach house or two and live like kings for the rest of their lives.

Signal message: "Joe, I'm sending a message so open Whatsapp and let me know when you're online...."

"OK, time to kill Jimmy. The rest of the money will be there tomorrow."

Delete it after it's read and...
