Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Was he actually thinking that those $450 were just gifted by the exporter?

Aside from everything else, apparently this guy doesn't understand how "Asking for a friend" is supposed to work.

Sure, but you still have to respect the form of the statement. You have to pretend that something happened to someone else.

For example: "How would someone remove a 4 1/2 inch cylinder that's stuck in an m&m minis tube. Asking for a friend."

Not: "I got my dick stuck in an m&m minis tube, how do I get it out? Asking for a friend."

Everyone knows that you're talking about yourself, but you're supposed to pretend that it's your friend who's the idiot.

"somebody who isn't me", in a tongue-in-cheek way.

Well, I think everything so far that we know about them point to them not being the sharpest tack in the box.

They're not even in the box, they were rejected by quality assurance for being so unbelievably blunt
