I know a lot of people will rip on this and it is pretty insane, but I am disappointed that it turns out that the guy was a fraud. I think living in a world where billionaires actually did things like try to buy island nations, create insane scientific experiments, and generally try to top one another for the best caricature of a Bond supervillain instead of the standard fare of buying sports teams, yachts, politicians, and art collections would be a much more interesting one to live in.

Maybe the best solution is to compensate and relocate the people of Nauru, and build a penal colony there, with SBF & co as the first permanent residents. Let 'em eat phosphate dust
