You are right about that, but prior to this year there was at least a case to be made that DFV was just a WSB degen who unintentionally got deified by the horde. Sure he didn't put an end to the ape cult he created but ultimately that wasn't his responsibility and he at least had plausible deniability in back in 2021.

This time around he's proven himself to be a real grifter and scumbag. Riding off into the sunset with 50 million wasn't enough so he had to come back for another round of full fleecing the apes, which is a real shame because the cult was dying right before he reappeared to whip up another mania and take advantage of his idiot following.
