Which begs the question- who was bankrolling this guy?
Good question - More than meets the eye here I think...
Two likely sources:
Student loans ($20,500 / year avail to grad students)
Credit cards
the guy was a recent college grad and undoubtedly got a sh!tload of credit card offers.
Wellllll you can call Me whacked or whatever you choose, but this was either planned to stop internet of Weapons and Ammo etc, or will be used to stop it. Leaning toward being Planned by somebody besides twinkle toes with the Red hair.
