one thing is clear from this college admissions fraud business: privileged white crime in the US has gotten lazy and bad. staging photos for an athletic profile in water polo, a sport that doesnt even exist?? we can do better. thread.

America used to be THE place for white-collar crime. In my day we had the Enron guys, first-class criminals who played complex accounting shell-games that were incomprehensible to all but the most thorough experts, through confusing jargon, numbers, and crafty thwarting of law.

And now a new generation of complacent influencers tries to breed stronger influencers by paying 50k to smarter kids to take tests for them? No attempts to hack databases, or to seize control of College Board itself through bribery or golf course influence. This is not who we are

And isnt it time to return to the golden age of American hegemony?? In the postwar years, if you wanted your young imbecile to go to Harvard, you bought yer name on a student union. If your large adult son was too dumb for Yale, you worked your Skull & Bones network. Not anymore.

Now my America is full of lazy Fyre Fraud, where punks with no awareness of (let alone respect for) their white criminal forefathers livestream the digital peddling of Hamilton tickets to thirsty know-nothings. No backroom deals. No market-to-market accounting.

Is it any wonder that every year we're losing more and more white-collar and spoiled privileged criminals to New Zealand and China? We can't compete anymore on the global fraud & crime stages unless we push for real, sustained illegal change.

In the words of Donald Trump, "I like people who don't get caught."

It's time to Make America Grift Again.
