Looking it up, it's fire committed colored blue from sulphur, not actually lava. Still looks really cool, though.

Left out of the headline (but in the first paragraph) is that one of the investment firms is owned by Jared Kushner, Trump's SIL.

Not OP, but I used to always have to show up early so I could get good seats — why do the rows just feet from the screen even exist — but I guess now that selecting seats when you buy your ticket online is normalized, it isn't usually necessary.

Genuinely just dumbfounded when I got to the point in the video where the little popup blurb refers to Epstein with the memed "disgraced financier" title. Holy shit, just call him the "infamous child sex trafficker", that's what almost everybody who knows his name knows him for.
