    An autopsy later confirmed that Laniado died from cardiac hypertrophy, a condition involving an enlarged heart.

    A search of his hotel room revealed he had been taking multiple substances banned in France, along with vasodilators commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. According to judicial sources, these substances are believed to have contributed to his death.

    Ah, so it had nothing to do with the procedure, dude was on a cocktail of his own drugs, didn’t tell the doctor, had a heart attack.

    So, if it was anyones fault, it was the pathetic billionaires fault. Also anyone who gets rich from diamonds is always, 100%, a scumbag.

    I always thought that autoerotic asphyxiation was the gold standard comedic way for billionaires to die. I was wrong.

    The thought of this wealthy pencil dick chasing what I have and dying in the process is hilarious.

    I guess envy really is a deadly sin.

    “There was something futile and sad about trying to find someone responsible at all costs, following a purely accidental death.“

    This was purely a case of litigation because they were a billionaire.

    The “unlicensed” surgeon? Had an Algerian degree, which was a French colony, that’s just racism.

    They were clearly just throwing charges at them until something stuck, presumably at the rich inheritor’s request.

    This is hilarious. Within the last few weeks Sam Harris was talking about how he would hate to die as side effects of having unnecessary surgery like a nose job, and they kind of laughed about how unlikely that is but still within the realm of possibility. And here we are days 6 years later, and a guy with over a billion dollars couldn’t even buy a bigger dick without losing his life.

          To all the billionaires out there: people will never respect you until you have 2 kg of dick. Go show them who’s boss!

            people will never respect you until you have 2 kg of dick.

            … that’s an integrated part of your body and in the form of a single dick looking appendage.

            We don’t want buckets of dick strewn around, nor random dicks attached to the torso.

                If you are in the buckets category, then pls don’t make us accessories to your crimes.

                If you have attached dicks to your torso, then don’t worry, you’ll still get what you can interpret as deference from people. It won’t be, but it’ll seem like respect.

                  I’ve just got the bucket going at the moment, but if you think sticking them on will get me out of legal trouble then I’ll get to gluing them to myself. Gonna be a long day.

      Sadly, that won’t matter unless we take out their kids too. I mean that’s how billionaires are made anyway- literally born that way. We need to eradicate whole dynasties.

        We can’t do that by force - the only way to get rid of billionaires is by taking the means of production under a planned market economy, taxing the rich, publicizing their property with a land value tax, and then redistributing their wealth to the poor and needy. Seriously!

    “Belgian-Israeli businessman Ehud Arye Laniado, founder of Omega Diamonds, suffered a fatal heart attack while undergoing injections intended to enlarge his penis.”

    At least we get some good news this year.

      I was thinking the same thing but further down in the article it says the surgery happened in 2019. This article is basically about the surgeons being punished.

    I applaud billionaire willing to die to show us what’s right and wrong. Submarine excursions when you have no clue what you’re doing, ruining the lives of millions with price hikes, penis enlargement surgery with unlicensed surgeons… keep at it billionaires. Let’s step: going to Mars without a backup plan, because thinking things ahead is for pussy. You can do it!
