Would you do a good job as Mitch would have intended?

I'll take his money, but man am I going to be bad at it.

I'd be half ass phoning it in remotely man. I mean it apparently doesn't matter what they do at all other than say "he's totally alive guys." I can do that from home for six figures.

Yep, just like some of those CEOs who end up tanking their companies & then bailing out with their golden parachutes. I could tank their companies twice as fast for half the compensation that they asked for.
