    To be fair, if I had a sudden moment of clarity where I realised that I was being used by one of the world’s most evil people, I might off myself

      You say that, but if you were in their bed? And able to remove one of the world’s most evil people from the mortal coil with great ease?

      I dunno, man, if you’re gonna go, do the rest of us a favor on the way out.

          Abusers in positions of power use this as a means of protecting themselves. By making their victims engage in acts of abuse against others they force them into a catch-22 if they try to expose them. They achieve ultimate victory over the victim by making them adopt the ideology of their abuser, trapping them in a hierarchy within which they will do anything to maintain their position. By drawing you into their system of abuse they not only make you afraid to expose them, but rob you of your desire to do so.

      The billionaire that realized you are trying to air their secrets would beat you to the punch. This was no suicide anymore than the two boeing whistleblowers were suicides.
