Why are rich brown celebrities buying fake temporary debit cards in the first place?
He didn’t. You’re referring to another case that was mentioned in the same article.
“Earlier this week, two Barneys New York customers came forward with similar stories. Trayon Christian and Kayla Phillips, who are black, said they were detained by police after making expensive purchases at the store.”
“Police said they were already in the store when Christian was taken into custody and they were contacted by the store after Phillips used a temporary debit card.”
