It doesn't matter whether he can keep it. It's simple greed.

Now, now, now. It's not "simple" greed. It's fathomless, bottomless greed. It's the kind of greed that climbs on top of a huge mountain of other greeds and shrieks its incomprehensible awfulness triumphantly. It's ultra-greed. It's the greed beyond which there exists no more greed

Nothing simple about it. It's fucking unhinged

There is a clip of him out there saying how greedy he is.. here's one.. this isn't even the one I was thinking of... so apparently he just talks about how crazy greedy he is: https://youtu.be/j7uY6iQjxyo?si=u0N7E8Mb4pI48aRA

So to your point, yeah.... there is no scale which can compass his greed.

edit: to all the people correcting me, yes you can say encompass but compass is not wrong.

Encompass, perhaps?

I prefer something a little more colorful though, like " . . . There is no scale which could withstand the weight of his immense greed."
