You know you can just give money to people, you're a CEO. Just make a call to some intern you have a get it done. You don't need add a button to our screen, you could send a check, send it via bank transfer or something.

Thats what so disingenuous about this, its so transparent that he doesnt want to give anyone any money, he wants other people to send him money.

Simply sending money into the void.
