The only reason he hasn’t been shot or stabbed yet is that he’s the golden goose and he keeps laying eggs.

he needs to start hiring tweakers to fight off the other tweakers. or maybe get embroiled with local criminal gangs in a convoluted scheme that will cause his death.

you can tell he's not from an old money background because at no point did a relative take him aside and inform him of the importance of regular bribes donations to the mayor/city council and the chief of police if you want to engage in capitalism

much like how being an independent contractor means you have to pay your own insurance, you don't have a boss bribing local government for you

I think an old money family would’ve had some member make the donations and let the local officials know to give them a call if their wayward son did anything exceptionally stupid

I suspect this would’ve been done whether the intent was to protect or laugh at

“They denied my go-kart track that I proposed, and now they’re spending $2.6 million to build their own go-kart track. Yeah, surprising. I proposed residences for artists and entrepreneurs. Oh, suddenly, their little art space that they’re building is going to have residences for artists. Oh, what a surprise.”

he entirely legitimately has been trying for years and has managed to return something like 10% of them, lol. he doesn't and has never had the resources to return them, and apparently keeps dumping any excess cash the "company" has into more pine bluff

But what about the makerspace? What about the warehouse? What about his Pine Bluff holdings? I asked Fenley what his long-term plans were. He hesitated. “There's a hotel available at auction right now that I bid on three weeks ago. There's like a week left in the auction. If nobody bids on this hotel against me, I'm gonna buy a hotel for $31,400,” he said. The hotel is in Pine Bluff, with good highway access. It’s been unoccupied since 2019. “It'd be freaking fantastic to own a hotel, and like, have rooftop parties and turn the whole top floor into a penthouse for me. You know? Like, that's, like, how would I not want to do that?”
