Background was an urban street down below. Cars were disappearing into each other. Obvious fake.

Also, there were other "commentators" with videos about the same subject (T**** has 72 hours to provide financial records), and all were approximately the same length (i.e., about 28 minutes). Obviously repeated prompts but with different faces on the screen.

If this is the future, I think I'll move to Nome. Evading polar bears would be better for my sanity.
