Why else do we suspect the $2 billion was more of a reward than it was about Kushner being an actually worthwhile investment? In addition to the due diligence panel’s reservations, there’s also the matter of Affinity’s pitch deck, which was recentlyby The Intercept.

besslevin He's Dorian Grey! No one else seems to make this connection. I'm sure there is a portrait of him in an attic that is rotting away, like his soul.
