    The other comments be like, “this lady is dumb because she killed herself and definitely just changed her mind and definitely wasn’t murdered, despite expressing that she will likely be murdered.”

      Right? If I’m ever inclined to believe that someone(s) is going to murder me, and tell my family & friends about it, and that I’m not suicidal, it’s because I want people to look into it if I die. It’s stunning to read all of these comments saying that maybe she was sitting on the fence, or that a half-decade is a lot of time to change your mind. Like, how fucking powerful do your enemies have to be before people are at least willing to entertain the possibility that you were killed for globally humiliating multiple multi-millionaires and their friends?

      I swear to Christ, I think it’ll take a dead-man’s switch tied to a private investigator and/or hitman to get things moving after a death under suspicious circumstances… “I think someone’s going to kill me, if it happens, here’s $30K to ensure that something’s done about it. Don’t accept jerkoff diffusion from impotent wankers or fools. Make sure that dolts don’t say I just got sad and shot myself in the back of the head twice.”

        People say shit like “half decade” to make five years sound longer. I understand people can change in five years, often do not share their suicidal ideation but she was a bright woman who understood the weight of her position, if nothing else it’s shady and needs to be looked into just to confirm.

          Nice one, so I guess that you’ve never said “half dozen” then, right? Because you wouldn’t want six eggs to sound like a bigger number, right?

              What the fuck do you expect me to say to someone who comments “People say shit like “half decade” to make five years sound longer”?

                That expression is being deliberately used to make the time period sound longer. Do you not understand that people will use language in a certain way to make things sound better or worse?
