Do you think someone spends $6.2 million on fruit if they don't have an extra few million? He had $6.2 million at MINIMUM, and he chose to eat a banana instead of healing children.

I think it's perfectly fair to be mad at a person for the actions they took.

He had $6.2 million at MINIMUM

According to this great reporting by Protos, he holds over $580,000,000 in just Bitcoin, with tens (and sometimes hundreds) of millions in other assets, like TRON (the coin you can see promoted on the side of his microphone in the article's photo) which is a clone of the Ethereum blockchain he made by simply copying the code, artificially lowering fees, then publishing it as if he created it.

Not only is he a rich douchebag, but he's also a plagiarist.
