    Since he went to Wharton, I am betting he has heard of the concept of "return on investment." However, there is no way in hell he is getting laid enough to justify spending $60,000 for a night out. He may have cash, but this is amateur hour. #jholow

    I hate to be a fly-in-the-ointment but the night Mr. Moneybags dropped 160k at Avenue he only left a 10 per-cent tip. Hack.

    Spending your evenings in A-list nightclubs doling out expensive beverages to people who couldn't care less about you ("A Jho Low comes around once in a lifetime") is pretty sad. Christ, join a book group or something. #jholow

    Yes, because arms dealers benefit from living such flashy lives. My guess is that he's just new money, like all those Russians who've been taking over London in recent years. #jholow

    It didn't hurt Adnan Khashoggi until his dictator friends lost power and the Saudi's had some turnover in the royal family. #jholow

    @raincoaster: It could come from anywhere. My best guess is that he's the playboy son of some filthy rich Malaysian financier, construction magnate, or some such. The economy has been booming in that region (setting aside the current economic crisis, of course), so it's not terribly out of hand to imagine that the money has legitimate sources. #jholow

    Please. The fat fuck looks, acts, and spends like a spoiled rich kid. I guarantee his father is the Malaysian Oil Minister or something like that. That also explains titles like "advisor" or "board member" when you can't find a place of business for him. #jholow

    He's a North Korean intelligence agent. They're giving him the "Eli Cohen" / "Robert Maxwell" / "Vivi Nevo" treatment where they give him a lot of money and then he gets close to big shots because everyone wants a piece of him. Except... who would want a piece of this guy?

    Here he is being really really funny at Wharton, 9 years ago, (or a few weeks old if it's a planted story; if it's the same Wharton Jho Low).

    I think they were trying to do something that was a little less mainstream


    Does Bobcat Goldthwait realize that that commercial was utterly, totally mainstream? It was a silly, predictable joke based on a single tired premise you could see coming at you from miles away like a forest fire.


    It was basically every episode of Two and a Half Men, but with puke.
