    This one seems to exceed some threshold for me. The ones that try to buy cars with nonexistent money are bad, but sort of pass as misguided. But this seems like premeditated theft. He went to a rental agency, intending to keep it.

      Bro, he had all the right forms. And recorded trust. Why couldn’t they just let him steal it? Some things just don’t make sense.

      Just the natural progression. Enterprise should seek their funding from the back taxes the Corporation of the United States owes him.

        That is wild! The craziest part is that he was able to convince a court that he had a right to live in the hotel for free indefinitely. If he hadn’t tried to pull the “I own this now” shit, he could have lived rent free in Manhattan forever from the sounds of things.

        This nutjob actually found a real loophole and exploited it, then shot himself in the foot by getting greedy. I assume he’s been evicted at this point.

        What the actual fuck. He successfully got the room for indefinite time, because he used a loophole, and the court agreed? Insane.
