One of these stories drops basically once a year on King, and somehow nobody outside of twitter pays attention. This is the second Daily Beast joint alone.

Again, at BEST, he’s a visionary but poor planner and executor who doesn’t listen to others. At WORST he’s a fraud who raises money through crowdfunding instead of grants or partners bc there’s less scrutiny & it doesn’t require plans & budgets. Either way, stop giving him money

People defend him with “he’s not a secret millionaire.” Nobody’s saying he is. Blatant and repeated failings at other people’s expense - while continuously asking for MORE - is, itself, enough. That’s enough.
