Memoirs or "art" are "legitimate" ways for people to send him money, so he can "ask" his dad to do something for the people giving him money. Then the Big Guy gets his cut of course.
Money laundering.
I guess all his pretty flower paintings sold for $500,000 each
They can pay him whatever the fuck they want for the rights: money laundering
They can say they sold as many books as they want: money laundering
When they "sell" millions of copies they can say "the Bidens are popular, see? SEE??"
Added benefit: They get their version of things out to try and control the narrative. It gives NPCs their talking points.
Hookers and crack get expensive.
He wouldn't stop rambling so they figured they'd make a few bucks towards Hunter's cocaine fund
Cocaine is a helluva drug
He's dead inside. Nobody can do that much meth and remain rational. Pure vanity and greed
This. But also to soften the narrative surrounding him and do damage control.
Most plausible answer.
There is not enough money in the world to satisfy his ego. He always wants more.
Books by politicians and their families are nothing more than money laundering schemes. You can't hand a politician a suitcase with a million dollars cash, but you can buy a million dollars worth of their books. The approach is different, but the effect is the same.
He had the time and ego. No sense of self, whatsoever. The guy is just delusional af. I haven't looked at the book, but if I did I could tell if it was ghost written and the purpose was a lame attempt at 'humanizing' the monster. Either way, I'd have him in your celebrity death pool. They could kill him in an attempt to bump up Xiden's diving ratings and or because of what he knows. Can't have a crackhead going around recording everything when he knows the secrets.
He was cooking up some good rocks
