JPMorgan's legal team is apparently auditing more than just code. They're balking at Frank founder Charlie Javice's legal bills, citing "luxury hotel upgrades," an alleged "24 hours of work in a single day," and... "cellulite butter." Forget technical debt, this is *lifestyle* debt. What's the most unbelievable item you've seen expensed?

"But $400 sneakers and $60 Bibles are not signs of strength. They’re signs of weakness. Panic. Desperation. A guy who’ll sell anything that isn’t nailed to the floor. ...

"Trump is spending a good chunk of his donations on his legal bills. The Times ran an amazing report about this on Wednesday. Of nearly $85 million in donations, almost a third, $27 million, has gone to legal bills. Hey, at least this time around, he’s apparently actually paying them.

Trump will have money. There’s no use pretending he won’t."
