Another krakkker down! 
Also, lol at "unsinkable"
The boat maker says the reason the yacht sunk was because it took on water. Amazing deduction skills there.

The floor here is made out of floor
🤯 is he a physicist?
It’s less that this particular billionaire died, but that he, and his lawyers who just got him off on a corruption case also died. Totally unrelated from a car hitting and killing his VP the same weekend.
Yeah this isn't even a hit to get revenge on someone they wanted dead. This is a warning to anyone else thinking of doing the same thing.
I absolutely want to believe this because the timing is fucking wild. But I've been struggling to figure out how a freak storm was engineered to take out the boat. How did that happen?
My understanding is that there's video footage of the storm happening and the boat sinking, so it's obviously not a secret torpedo etc
Sometimes terrible things happen almost randomly in locations where the scum of the Earth happen to be standing and I couldn't be happier. Usually terrible things happen to neighborhoods of poor people who have shitty infrastructure
why couldnt they just torpedo the boat, while theres a storm
Could be boat sabotage? Not so much making the storm happen as knowing they'd likely try and sail in it, and making sure that like, the bilge pump or something wouldn't be up to the task.

I hadn't heard about his lawyers. Do you have a link?
Oh, nevermind, I hadn't realized they were also on the boat.
LOOKS LIKE BILLIONAIRE'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS! 
Civil protection officials said they believe the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.
Big ups to my homie, God, for specifically targeting this guy.
"Rich guy thwarts justice, celebrates on his yacht, then drowns after a tornado hits his boat and it sinks" really does sound like it could be an Old Testament story.
he invoked the wrath of poseidon. let that be a lesson for all yacht owners.
the great orca summoned his ship to the sea floor courtroom for a preliminary hearing
i have to imagine if i was some billionaire, knowing i had to do so much evil shit to get that money, if a seanado struck my big ass boat my last thought would be "is this karma?"
granted, i have empathy and a soul or whatever you'd call it. maybe subhuman parasitic billionaires aren't even capable of that level of self reflection. maybe his last thought was "i'm gonna sue this fucking ocean for property damage"
when billionaires get antsy and lack enrichment in their enclosures they have an instinctual urge to have an accident at sea that is tangentially related to the titanic.
Billionaires yearn for Davy Jones' Locker.
You guys remember when they stopped looking for those workers that were knocked into the harbor when that boat in Baltimore hit the bridge earlier this year, after like a single day of looking?
Bust out the crustaceans
How many billionaires are there? Can the ocean kill one per year?
that is definitely not a high enough rate
Forbes lists 2,781 for 2024, so probably just the cocaine gets more killed per year than sea.
Also a dead billionaire usually makes another billionaire or two instantly from inheritance
How about family ~~cocaine~~ sea trips?
