This guy is fascinating to me. He could've just retired and done literally nothing but spend his money and a lot of people still would've had the (incorrect) impression of him as "America's Mayor." Instead, he shit all over people's misguided goodwill, lost a ton of money, and showed what an immoral clown he really is. Now he'll die as, at best, a joke. Why? What motivates someone to torpedo their entire life like that?

He got cocky or greedy, or both. Pride does some weird shot to people.
