Joe Exotic was the "star" of the Tiger King documentary on Netflix that caught the public eye during lockdown. It was all anybody talked about for like a year.

Joe badly mismanaged a big cat zoo (tigers mostly) and Carole Baskin runs a tiger sanctuary. He constantly ranted about her trying to shut him down, and he claimed she had killed her previous husband Don Lewis.

Joe is currently in federal prison and running for president again in 2024.

...and he will never financially recover from this

Joe Exotic runs for president the same way Michael Scott declares bankrupsy.

That's exactly correct. I'd give you a high five, but a tiger ate my arm.
