Why is there more reason to question the cost of the laptop specifically than simply questioning the disappearance of $30.000? Everything the authors states are interpretations of how the author interpreted their interactions; they're allegations. You don't need allegations to support an already established fact unless you're playing to the people, that is, appealing to sentiment to win them over to a cause. > None of this is reaching It isn't, but it also isn't needed to publish those personal misgivings in a populist format. If the 30k is missing, then that's a clear indictment by itself. There's no need to cast aspersions about how the money was used, speculation on mental health issues, or how little other people personally liked someone.
