Well at least he still has billions. It's not like he'll be poor and homeless. If I were him I'd just by my own Island somewhere and retire.

Yeah, I feel no sympathy for him, he was one of the 9-6-6 work hours system supporters, I'm not sorry he can't get away over there with things billionaires get away with , over here in the US. His end is not sad, nor fair. A fair end would be he loosing everything and the people that worked their ass off to make his wealth possible getting compensated.

Not to be a dick, but it's "losing", not "loosing". This is the most incorrectly spelt word on the Internet and it makes me irrationally irate. If English is not your native language then I apologise for my pedantic outburst.

Lol, is not , but thank you

Fun fact: spelt is my favorite grain!

Why do you say "the people that worked their ass off to make his wealth possible" haven't been compensated?

9-6-6 is a lot of work, but not too much for someone that loves it.

He advocates 9-9-6, which is just crazy.

You don't become a billionaire by being the kind of person who wants to chill on a private island.

True, but it's not a terrible fate :) and it doesn't have to be an island either. I'm sure he can get residency of any country he wants. Maybe even start up a new company.

It's not like his personal life is shattered or anything, that's all I mean.

I don't think that we know much about his current private life.

Some time ago he "disappeared" for a rather long time.

I'm not sure that's true. I've heard a great deal about billionaires and the things they do on their private islands.
