Probably right.
The Bow out excuse lets them jet set while catching less shit from the public, and the media have less of a reason to hound them.
Meanwhile they can be working deals around the world.
Taken literally it makes little sense. Nobody wants to be set on fire for eternity.
But if his choice of “being in hell” means joining the masses who are awake, at a cost of losing the luxury, media love and creature comforts of the cabal, then it makes more sense to me.
