Integrity is for idiots in Corporate bro, believe that, that's that bullshyt you only act like you're about to the consumers to get them to like you and support (spend). I feel bad for Rory and Mal because I can tell they're good people, and I believe them 1000%...but I think they're more suited for 9 to 5's...or just being hanger on's or sumn, for real. Budden morphed into a shark/snake...he used yall fans thinking he was anti-industry and trying to fight the good fight to become what he always wanted to be, industry af and rub shoulders with the dudes yall woulda thought he hated, lol.
yea that clip they posted about the tidal situation basically spelled that out
Rory saw no problem with Elliot and him discussing possible business and numbers, as a friend
Joe, as a businessperson, knows nikkas like Elliot could easily get in Rory or Mal's head due to inexperience, so he immediately yelled at Rory not to do shyt like that (his own PTSD)
so depending on what side of the friend/business fence you're on, either one could be right or wrong, shyt's sad smh
i disagree with you about the money statements tho, i don't think they cared about the money at first but after seeing how defensive Joe got it turned into okay why is our friend just lying to us REMEMBER: Joe is a self admitted addict and suicidal, the way he responded to them asking about accounting is the same way pillhead Joe would about his pillhead antics, so the red flags went up for them from there and it spiralled
