He's only 39 with a 40 year old image 🤔

The woman being harassed by this company and the police is the only that's 39. The article doesn't mention the founder's age, and he definitely looks older than 39 from a quick search.

He worked hard in utero. /#neverstophustling

Lol, great catch! I totally missed that.

EDITED TO ADD: It was the lady who was 39, not the guy suing her. My bad. I should probably just go ahead and revisit Hooked on Phonics now because I can't fucking read, lol.
