A few interesting factoids about Sondland from
heavy.com/news/2019/11/g…:
1. He apparently rigs his kids' college admissions the old-fashioned way. His son "attends Duke University; his parents gave the college $2.5 million." #TaxTheFuckingRich

2. "Sondland is so pro free market that, according to Vice, he once gave his wife a first-edition copy of Ayn Rand’s seminal book Atlas Shrugged... [She] is also a fan of the book, Willamette Week reported, even naming a company Atlas Investments and a building “The Galt.”

3. His wife should have a BLAST repairing his reputation (and his hotel chain's finances): "Katy said, 'I love fixing/cleaning up things.'"
Maybe I'm a naif, but this is remarkable to me for a couple reasons. First, I didn't realize FTC required disclosure of any personal/financial interest in tweets or Instagram posts recommending products, events, etc. The ramifications if that rule were enforced are endless...
E.g.: imagine you tweet how much you like your new iPhone, and incidentally your 401(k) happens to include some Apple stock. Misleading advertising?
I also didn't realize how much $ influencers can make from social media. Jenner got $250,000 for a single IG post promoting the Fyre Festival. Ratajkowski got $300k -- for ONE IG POST. Wow. #TaxTheFuckingRich
Fascinating detail on how the Old Boy network operates in this long piece about @AlanDersh. Even if he didn't avail himself of Epstein's odalisques, Dersh was an enabler of a pedophile pimp, + himself is a poster child for unreflective, unrepentant 20th c. male dominion.

@AlanDersh .@AlanDersh may be profoundly flawed, but this is one of the best insights ever into the unhealthy psyche of the über-privileged (incl. Dersh himself): sick people obsessed with trading away what they lack to increase what they don't need:

@AlanDersh Here's a great cautionary tale about how outsiders can misunderstand the details of litigation. Here, Dersh + two of Giuffre's lawyers sued each other. Apparently, Dersh's insurance carrier paid big, but the deal also included a small payment TO Dersh so he could claim he won:
