It’s also heavily implied the player knows the rich asshole, since the asshole funds part of the tournament. Meaning he could have gotten a signed hat at any moment but decided he wanted to steal one from a child instead. He then doubles down and laughs at the kid and everyone else calling them losers while threatening legal action against anyone who calls him out. I heard he has now contacted the player to get a hold of the kid to “make it right” so it sounds like his company is now holding his feet to the fire.
