    Bro got taken out because he started exposing pedophiles. He spent his last few years being dragged in the press by parents that decided money was more important than their kids dignity or future reputation.

    That level of fame essentially means you cannot possibly do actual good in the world or fight any powerful group. It’s not a level of fame where you could build a revolution, but its far too much fame to ever do anything positive in life.

      Sorry, I know I shouldn’t, but I need to clarify. Are you saying that Michael Jackson was killed because he was exposing pedophiles?

        Yes that is the popular theory post Epstein file release. Partially a joke, partially the best explanation we have for who paid the doctor to kill him. It was either the pedos or Sony, which is full of pedos.
