   Tommy confesses that deception was actually his goal.

   Incorrect, for you provided only one image.   
      
   That you Photoshopped multiple images together doesn't change that the   
   first says that its total is $2.511M   
      
   Nor that we can sum the four CU accounts to get $55.8K, so even if your   
   latest attempted explanation is accepted that these are in addition to   
   the prior, its a "so what?" because adding the CU's $55.8K is just a   
   minor +2% change.   
      
      
   > There are other brokerage and cash accounts.   
      
   To which we're expected to believe that while Tommy's trying to make a   
   maximal brag about himself that he chose to not include?  Does not fly.   
      
      
   > Stop trying to put is all

   Yet that didn't stop you from trying to demand the total picture of   
   others...hypocrite much?

   Since you've already provided what you claimed were four credit union   
   banking accounts, what sense does it make to do that?   
      
   > What you are saying is a major change in amounts is actually VERY

   Of course the intent was not to inform:  it is to try to deceive.   
   Notice how Tommy avoided acknowledging that at least two of his numbers   
   were subtotals?

   Just merely two deceptive documents (so far) & lying through omission:   
      
   "Throwing out misleading and irreverent numbers to impress others.   
   Bad, very bad."

   Gosh, what a quick 180 turn, from just over a week ago, when Tommy was   
   claiming the opposite (still!):   
      
   Right side of Tommy's piehole, on 11/28/25 16:40:  "But since you seem   
   to need $120 SO badly you had to wait for Black Friday..."   
      
   Likewise, same arrogant piehole, on 11/28/25 10:58:  "Followup #2 ... My   
   take is that in actual reality that $120 seems to be very important to   
   YOU. Needing that for groceries or utility bills, are you?"

   Translation:   
   Tommy knows that he's been caught (again) with his deception attempt, so   
   instead of being honest & accountable, he's going to run away (again),   
   in a futile effort to try to save face (again).  Who's the fool again?   
      
   TL;DR on all of this:  assuming minimal forgeries, Tommy's provided   
   about the best evidence seen to date that he's probably accumulated a   
   bit over $2.5M after having worked into his mid/upper-70s.  Of course,   
   the Stock Market's long Bull run over the past ~decade+ has made some   
   pretty big gains on paper for a lot of folks, both smart & dumb alike.
