Adam Britton.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Britton
He had searched for dogs on the website Gumtree Australia, claiming to rehome them, and telling their former owners that they were thriving in his care, when in fact he had already sexually abused, tortured, and killed them. He is known to have sexually abused 42 dogs, of which 39 died.[5]
As of 25 September 2023, Britton faced 60 charges which related to using child abuse material as well as bestiality, to which he had pleaded guilty.[11]

Britton was caught by authorities after he uploaded a clip of him torturing at least eight dogs, which were all puppies except one, according to the BBC. Someone who saw the video passed it on to the Northern Territory Police Force in an anonymous tip. Police in April 2022 seized recording devices, animal remains, weapons and a laptop, which also contained 15 files containing child abuse material.

Adam Britton, a once-celebrated zoologist, remained expressionless as he was sentenced to 10 years and five months in prison, with a non-parole period of six years, for the rape, torture and murder of dozens of dogs.

What is the catch? I thought to get food stamps you kind of had to not have any personal savings? I briefly looked into it during the pandemic but they can't to know how much was in my bank accounts and how much in stocks I had.
I am not one to mooch off of the government, but will probably try to apply for some kind unemployment benefits. This was my first non-contract W2 jobs in years and I get laid off because they are obviously thinking they can use cheaper off shore labor. F that. They must pay

Applied to some "mainframe" job at morgan stanley. But after closer look, I don't think it is remote.

the catch is you have to write on a piece of paper "i haveno job and no income" to your case worker

Morgan Stanley "phone screen" went alright, even though the lady showed up 10 minutes late. One of the few teams that allows remote work. They are looking at 7 candidates for one position. Perhaps I have a chance. They acted like each "step" of the interview process could take up to two weeks and the whole process would be 40+ days or something.
