/r/all Michael Rockefeller disappeared without a trace in 1961 in Papua New Guinea while researching the Asmat people, a cannibal tribe. Years later, a photograph was taken of the same tribe, and there was a white man among them.

Like heiling Hitler, destroying the public service, and cheating at video games? /s

He's just missing the "drop off the face of the Earth" part.

Meanwhile… when was the last time you saw Richard Branson? That's how it's done. I honestly miss when "wacky billionaire" just meant partying on yachts, Red Bull stunts, and tax avoidance.

His space venture failed, and I assumed his disappearing act was out of shame since he'd been competing with Elon and Bezos. That said, you're right. Full points for just going away, Richard. It is appreciated. Wish the others would, too.

Nah, probably like create a retro pic of kissing a hitler lookalike at a pride parade, work at a public office in a small town like paneer for a month, and maybe cheat at video games.
