No that would make him really popular. But he might've been poisoned by a cucked husband with arsenic based wig powder.

He is popular and you're just jealous.

Robbed his own bank while brandishing a pepperbox pistol causing several faintings among the witnessing public

pepperbox pistol

A few months ago I googled that and then watched a few Youtube vids. I'm not a gun guy so at first I didn't understand stuff. The pistol appeared in the tv series Hell on Wheels.

He was banished to the shadow realm for arguing with the menswear guy while his suit seams were puckering

I wish it was on YouTube, cuz I don't link to fucking Insta here, but comedian Eric Fretty had a skit where he pretended to be one of those "Pedo Catcher" influencers who went to the park to confront a dude, and the guy was some weirdo in a top hat with a cane who when confronted was like "Oh I am here to meet a 12 year old boy with the intent to have intercourse with him, have you seen this 12 year old boy?!?!?! I want to boink him!"

So I imagine something like that.
