He went out in class

This event was the inspiration behind the season 1 finale scene where an E Corp exec kills himself during a live interview.

If only all politicians did this after a felony conviction.
He wasn't guilty, his accusers were the guilty ones. Dwyer did this so his family wouldn't lose insurance.

His lunch?
He's definitely gonna eat something out of that bag anyway

If you were around in the early days of the Internet, this video was far from the worst thing you'd see.

Yeah, plenty of folks encountered terrorist beheading videos when they were like 10. In the grand scheme of things, this video isn’t even that gory.

I remember the blood gushing out of his nose... True nightmare fuel.
A surprisingly large amount.

I learned about this in a weird way when I was a kid. Faith No More ended up being my first breadcrumb in the trail to watching someone die on the internet

Just in case somebody needed this.
Can they help not having to work all the god damned time ?

Source? He was a State Treasurer involved in a complicated bribery and contracting scandal. It's not a he-said-she-said sort of case. His accuser was a deputy comptroller for Pittsburgh Public Schools who noted contracts were wildly overvalued for the work and called the State Auditor General who called the FBI to investigate the matter. Who are you suggesting was lying?

From a half assed Google search right now I find info (100 % trustworthy sources I'm sure) on a straight dope forum... https://boards.straightdope.com/t/was-budd-dwyer-factually-guilty-innocent-or-what/631629/24?page=2
White collar crime seems like it's all from a legal perspective, quite often.
Edit: I can't believe I'm using this as a source but according to the straight dope forum whoever accused him admitted to lying, seems based on dubious sources at best. So I probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

Interesting! Thanks. That has some more nuance than I was expecting.
PA state government is rife with corruption of every level and so we as residents tend to leap to conclusions that every state official, especially the elected ones, are always committing some kind of crime and it's just the unlucky ones who get caught and tried. The State Treasurer in particular has a recent bad history.

Why not ask them?

They said no, if you're not sick then you have to work until you die unless you can somehow capture enough of other people's wealth to live off of before you die.
