Naaah. Low-hanging fruit.
I think they get a sadistic rush torturing their victims, literally a physiological reaction to the emotions they feel, and it's a critical part of what they do.
I have some familiarity with the fashion / textile industry. I was a stitcher doing piece work in a dress factory when I was very young, sitting sewing all day, I lasted two-and-a-half weeks, didn't even go back to get my scissors and paycheck. Years later, my interest in the field led me to a book with some essays that touched on the economics / politics, companies bounce from manufacturer to manufacturer to avoid unionizing and having to improve abysmal work conditions. I think it was in the documentary Life and Debt, about how Jamaica got fucked over by IMF and / or World Bank, they brought in these textile businesses, that after some time just evaporated into the night. I think people even came to work one day and they were gone. The fashion industry is ruthless, slave labor all over the planet. Hearing about Kate Spade partnering to set up "artisan" workshops in Haiti is just so much horseshit cover for slave labor.
I've heard of odious debt, if there isn't already, there should odious laws.
Couldn't find the complete clip. This story does not hang together, people acting weird just to begin with. There's more weirdness when you dig.

Yeah, when SR was all the rage, nobody would mention any strangeness about the panda. What's really bizarre is why that interview with Mr. Giggles in front was even released. It has to have been intentional, but to what end I don't know, I can only think it was to feed conspiracists.
I was all over the territory. My time is stretched too thin, I moved on.
