This is an interesting sentence, "Earlier this week, a New York married couple named Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan were arrested for stealing $4.5 billion in Bitcoin."

All the words are in the English language, and I understand them and the context. When I graduated high school, I would have understood the context of the introductory phrase, and the remainder would have been a stumper. That rapping, though . . .

Razzlekhan is spectacularly untalented. Painful to watch. But thanks. I'll be sure to avoid all future links to her.

They say art is a question of taste and arguing about taste is a waste of time. But let Razzlekhan stand forever as a monument to art in that case. I intend to listen to it until I love it, and up until everyone finally loves it (after the critical success of the McKinnon biopic) and then I'll hate it again. Thank you for this sparkling gem Mr. J. T. Reacher.

In my notes I had your scribbling down as "Who in the Hell is Jim Treacher?" Did I miss something, or did I have a Biden moment? PLEASE tell me I missed something.

I decided “Heck” was more polite. And funnier.

Finally watched all of Reacher. Great fun all the way through. My one complaint (possibly as a result of spending my entire adult life in the Army): when Reacher is in dress uniform visiting his dying mother, he should have been clean shaven. No self-respecting GI would appear in dress uniform with 3 days growth! Pretty small whine for 8 hours of rollicking fun!

Razzlekhan's rapping is so good, I can see why she turned to a life of crime.

It's a little sad that not one of those friends who helped her with that said for the love of all that's holy, no, don't release that to the world. With friends like that who needs enemies?

Yeah, don't know all the details except that the BTC was from the bitfenix heist, but because they aren't Russian ransomware developers, they don't have a clue how to launder the spoils

That Razzlekhan video may be my favorite thing I've seen on the internet all week. If I didn't know her backstory, I'd swear she was a female Sasha Baron Cohen and Razzlekhan was her "Borat". I can't stop laughing at "the motherf****** crocodile of Wall Street".
