His ostensible employers say they don't know him, his alma mater says they don't know him, his "family company" is worth "over a million" but somehow can afford to pay him $750,000. His non-profit pet charity is not a registered non-profit nor charity. He went from an eviction in 2015 to owning 13 properties in 2022, although nobody can find any evidence that those properties exist. WTF, dude?

Cavill's had quite a ride this year. From Witcher back to Superman, to losing Superman, and now Warhammer 40k. He's such a geek, I imagine he could write the "show bible" for the series.
