In some ways, the story of someone getting ripped off like that leaves the victim with a better story for themselves than simply being a guy who has four super bowl rings even though he doesn't actually play football.

Which is not to applaud theft, but rather to highlight the unsympathetic qualities of the victim.

Robert Kraft was in the headlines (e.g. atop CNN.com) for two days when that happened.

How may CEOs get that sort of public attention and have it be FAVORABLE? It was an enormous PR win for him.

And then the ass had to go support his buddy Donald Trump ... :(

Why would anybody downvote me on THIS site for opposing Trump? Do you like the bitter Steve Bannon attacks on the tech industry? Do you think immigration is a bad idea? Do you find him to be an honest, decent, likeable man? Do you agree with his moves to get science out of scientific policy-making? Do you favor his attitude of "Truth is whatever I tweet it is?"

I don't get it.
