    Really the dumbest story for an adult to be interested in. This is a patsy with no power. They're happy when you obsess on him. Soon they'll be naming newborn babies as the CEOs of banks, so people who have no understanding of how power works can do exposés on how badly behaved they are.

      Power is often exercised through patsies. Disabling them—and deterring the next one—really does matter. In this case, turning Big Balls into an example could incentives the next stooge to flip.
