In case you were wondering how an obviously insane person comes to be that rich, it's from stealing your data.
Apparently he was the founder and chief data scientist at SMA Communications. From their website:
SMA Communications owns data on over 247 million consumers and over 49 million business contacts. We also have over 179 million registered Voters, 165 million automobile owners, Social media connections and more.
- Good luck. If you want to interact with the modern world- have a smartphone, use social media, streaming services, etc., you're going to have your data sold. And if you don't do it, the corporation you work for is probably doing it. The horses are already out of the barn. Our data is not ours anymore.
  
  YOUR*
  
  I agree, but this list doesn't sound particularly like digital behavior, though I'm sure that's included. Credit card companies were selling your receipts long before online shopping, voter reg (though not it's history) is public, a lot of this is just buying straight from companies or scraping.
  
  Oh nevermind he fixed his spelling mistake by changing project to protect
- I never wonder why morally corrupt people are rich.
  It is the about the only way you can become wealthy.
  
  That or inheritance. Then the corruption is a side effect.
- Jesus, imagine being next-of-kin and this was your inheritance. If it were a physical factory I'd order it shut down and burn it, then leave the smoking ruins as a warning to others.
I love that the picture they chose was of him standing between DeSantis and the very stupidest Trump offspring (which is a hell of an achievement!) just to rub it in how the GOP has absolutely no standards beyond dollar amounts!
- In a freaking obnoxious USA blazer to boot
  
  Absolutely! I also love that, as of the day after the article went live, the dumbass son is identified as the OTHER dumbass son 😂
  
  Something something wrapped in a flag and holding a cross…
- Eric Trump is offended. He thought he was the best at being the very stupidest Trump offspring.
  
  He can take comfort in his winning stupidest-LOOKING Trump offspring by a mile even though junior has no chin..
Man, if you pitched these news stories to a studio as ideas a decade ago, they’d call you absurd and outlandish as they laughed you out of the room
Oddly enough, I did have that on my Republican Bingo card.
- It was the free space on mine.
And nothing of value was lost.
- Hey now! Bullets ain't free.
  
  But they are back to being relatively affordable. I'd say this was a good way to spend one.
Republican moment
- Just legal gun owner things
  
  There were good people on both sides
  
  I am a lefty and I own guns. This comment is dumb
  edit, i get the point you were trying to make now, by reading other posts of yours.
  
  Okay this comment is actually stupid.
  Saying this is a legal gun owner moment is as stupid as saying it's an Antifa moment when someone tries to loot a store during a protest or counter protest.
Nice shot, man.
- For those who didn't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Man_Nice_Shot
Many GOP heavyweights took to social media to give tributes, including Trump and DeSantis.
So DeSantis donated the guy's campaign contributions after he kept using the N word but he still decided to give tribute after the guy attempted murder?
- Despite, or because?
Glad he is gone now.
Nice when the trash takes itself out.
- Wait, he did this in public?
  What a POS.
  
  Yep. A BurgerFi
- If I found out who it was, Id loudly proclaim that he was a scumbag and that I'm buying a round of shots for us to party right through it.
First, a moment to acknowledge that his wife, who evidently didn't do anything wrong, got shot behind this.
Now, we dance!
- She was a psychologist and didn't notice this dude was fucking crazy? I don't want to blame her for being shot, but for her to be willing to put up with him she couldn't have been innocent of the other stuff he's done.
  
  Maybe she thought she could "fix" him. Still stupid
  
  Right, wonderful amazing people don't marry pieces of shit like this guy, wife is probably just a much of a racist piece of shit.
Damn, that headline just keeps goin', don't it?
And here I thought nothing was gonna go right this year at all.
- Thoughts and prayers /s
Now that's a headline
Wow that's too bad. Anyway now his rich widow can recover and go waste her Inheritance on whatever trivial bullshit she likes. It won't help the world, but it's better than actively undermining it.
- After what she's gone through, shall she recover well and have a good time.
  It would be nice, if everyone that suffers a life-changing traumatic event like hers, would have the means to take their time to recover, digest the trauma, get over it and finally be able to re-enter life's daily struggle, timing everything at their own pace, without having to fear financial ruin.
  Even more, if the trauma was caused by someone else, ripping you out of your life.
fuck that dude
As the trump-cultists come to the realization their god-emperor is a fraud, many will take this turn.
"alright time for my murder suicide. what was I supposed to do first? uhhh probably suicide then murder? we'll see how that goes"
Wow He defended his use of the nword by using slurs I don't even recognize
- Kike - Jew
  Goyim - non-Jew notable usage is the Goyim Defense League; a U.S. based Nazi group
  Spic - Spanish speakers
  I think your experience with the terms will be geographical rather than age
  
  Ya know Spic being a slur explains why Spit is a slur for Spitalians in Steelshod. Guess I never put it together.
  For those who don't know Steelshod is a tabletop game that was turned into a story the main GM for it think all Guardsmen party.
- Seriously I have no idea what those last 2-3 slurs are…
  Do you have to be proper racist to know those?
  
  I think it's great that you didnt recognize them, tbh, because they were pretty recognizable. Some of the classics of hatespeech.
  
  k**es - a slur for Jews
  n****** - I think we all know what this one is
  g**im - not a slur, but it's unsurprising that a bigot would try to frame it that way. It means a person who is not Jewish
  s***s - a slur for Latino people, derived from "hispanic"
  As a commenter below you said, some all time classics
  
  Goyim? Is that a slur?
Each word in the headline brought in a new twist.
Lol
What's the "g**im" slur?
- I think it's goyim. It fits given the context of referring to his own ethnic group as the k slur. Guy sounds like a giant asshole.
  
  And what’s the k slur? As a foreigner can you please use the fucking expletives so people even understand what you are trying not to say
  
  Yes. Jew here- antisemites will refer to themselves as goyim sarcastically when speaking in the context of Jews. Which is weird, because I have almost never actually heard a Jew use the word. And the few times I have, it's come from some elderly person who's probably bigoted in other ways too.
- I know, right? That quote led me to the brain-bleach-required section of Wikipedia. If you want to ruin a nice Friday too:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs
  Although above that one, "goombah" can be (not always) used as a slur against Italians? Growing up with Super Mario, that is kinda funny but then also concerning. Like it's been hiding in plain sight.
- Oy. Jewish slang for non Jewish I think. (Not spelling the whole thing as I don't want to risk mod ire)
- I didn't think goyim was any more of a slur than gringo or gaijin
- The only thing I can think of is Goyim, if say a Jewish group is using it against Christians or non Jewish people.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Rot In Piss.
Well, good, I guess.
- *cue
  ¿Que?
Sucks to suck
How did Steven Alembik make his fortune? One article I read mentioned email, but I couldn't figure out anything else did he own an email provider?
- Looks like the company is a data broker, selling user information to businesses looking to advertise their products. https://smacomm.com/about/
  So scummy, unsurprisingly.
Are they really trying to suggest bipolar did this? Well, maybe this stupid fucking donor should have got mental help instead of giving the money away. Mental illness is not your fault, but getting treatment for it is your responsibility.
He seems nice.
Good.
As I said earlier, they're hurting the right people: Themselves.
Another Darwin Award nominee.
- Can the award be given out if you just commit suicide? I think it's reserved for very special, unintentional deaths lol
- You were just so excited for a chance to type that out, weren't you?
  
  I was. And?
