Hey, Darlin', hope you've been well!

"Professor Coates is such a FORCE!"

That he is, but you should try him out sometimes as he's an easy, non-condescending read. What you saw in that clip is what you'll find in his books. And yep -- he gently and succinctly tore that reporter a new asshole!! I don't know anything about a tax investigation, but if there IS one, Adebayo's spot-on! Hell, n addition to the books he's written, the man won a MacArthur ‘Genius Grant’ Award in 2015 which came with a considerable amount of cash: https://time.com/4053672/macarthur-genius-grant-2015-ta-nehisi-coates-lin-manuel-miranda/

I'd like to believe he's smart enough to know all eyes would be on him since then and not do anything rash as a tax scam!
