Rich Uncle Pennybags is photobombing the Senate hearing on the Equifax breach

A person dressed as "the Monopoly guy" photobombed the Senate Banking Committee's hearing on the Equifax data breach Wednesday, sitting just behind former CEO Richard Smith, CNBC reports:

The classic board game character, also known as "Rich Uncle Pennybags," was in league with the liberal consumer rights advocacy group Public Citizen, protesting "Get Out of Jail Free" cards for companies like Wells Fargo and Equifax.

Smith has claimed "full responsibility" for the data breach that left more than 145 million Americans vulnerable.
