    I’m currently reading a marketing book from the early 90s at it uses Mr Dump’s empire as examples of failures on a few fronts from brand extension to the failure of ego and the impact on proper marketing. His bankruptcies are also mentioned along with the huge brass T he had in his office.

    It’s amazing to me how much of a Turnip he has been for so long and how far he has gotten despite it all. Having his father’s money certainly helped him keep going as most normal people do not get that many get out of jail cards.

    Unfortunately his escapades could lead to further deaths than what we have seen so far. Still I can’t get how this guy is a savior to so many despite the “teachings” of their good books…
