Cruz' undeclared Cayman "investment". 6K magically becomes 100K (or more). [View all]

Oops forgot to declare it. Like anyone would FORGET the brilliant geniousness of his own financial acumen.

Why hasn't he offered to invest the US' money? With returns like that, we could fix the debt and have dough left over.

I LOVE how they're now referring to the Caymans as The BVI (sure, it's accurate, but I guess "Cayman" sounds dicier.
