Someone dressed up as the Monopoly man is trolling the ex-Equifax CEO's hearing in Congress
Wednesday marked his second day of testimony in front of Congress, and life's not getting any easier.
During the testimony, one enterprising attendee of the Senate hearing is trolling Smith, sitting behind him in the gallery wearing a top hat, bushy white mustache, and a monacle.
He's a dead ringer, of course, for the mascot from the board game Monopoly - a game that, if your experiences at all resemble mine, you'll recall celebrates unfettered capitalistic greed and results in all participants growing increasingly hostile over the course of the five hours it takes to complete the game.
The monocle is a very nice touch.

Last week, Smith stepped down from Equifax, which suffered from a hack that exposed the personal data of nearly half the US population.
Smith - who averaged $15 million in awarded executive compensation the past three years, according to Bloomberg data - is leaving with a golden parachute that could be worth more than $18 million, Bloomberg reported.
Like the troll in the gallery, Smith's millions haven't been lost on Congress.
"I worry that your job today is about damage control: to put a happy face on your firm's disgraceful actions and then depart with a golden parachute," said Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, on Tuesday before Smith's opening remarks.
"Unfortunately, if fraudsters destroy my constituents' savings and financial futures, there's no golden parachute awaiting them," he added.
In September, Equifax reported the massive data breach, saying hackers may have accessed the personal details, including names and Social Security numbers, of more than 143 million consumers from mid-May to July.
