You just have to kind of laugh at this.. people willing to be this sociopathic for possible minimal gain. Like their risk/reward is completely off-balance because the risk can always be mitigated by having a lot of money.

Reward: some reporters fall for your everyman spiel and manner and write a nicer article about Holmes

Risk: you're found out and... nothing. nothing happens to you because you're rich and its not like your career is in jeopardy.

I guess when you're super rich you never have any consequences to doing stuff like this so why not try it? Worse that can happen is you get an article written about you.

>nothing happens to you because you're rich

What do you believe happens to non-rich people who lie to reporters when accosted by reporters in public?
