    Dawg I think you lost the plot here. Dude’s resigning because he was caught in corruption. You can criticize him for further exploiting his power to enrich himself.

      I mean that’s fair enough. I’m sure he doesn’t need the money as badly as your average Joe

        Considering these are bribery charges and “investigators found $480,000 in cash and more than $100,000 worth of gold bars” just at his home, I think he has plenty of money.
