Either WSJ does not pay their reporters too well.

Or else reporter Byron Tau has a secret account in the Grand Caymans.

From the looks of it, Tau, who tweeted out a portion of his bank account, likes like $2 video games, films and Curb, an Uber-like taxi service.

Follower Chilly Willy remarked, “Yikes. I’m going to show your bank balance to students considering a career in journalism.”

A Mirror tipster asked, “Is he insane to tweet out his bank statement?”

The Mirror sought comment from Tau.

“Eh. It’s not like I tweeted my routing number,” he said. “Doesn’t strike me as a big deal.”

Asked if he needed a loan, he replied, “I should be set. The problem is most of my money is tied up in potato futures.”
