    The founder of Epik’s name is Rob… Monster? Really?

      He is Dutch and the surname Monster is not especially strange there.

      Added: it may be related to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster,_South_Holland

      There is a great deal of uncertainty over the origin of the name “Monster”. It is probably derived from the Latin monasterium, meaning monastery. The name was also used for the ground that belonged to a monastery. Another explanation was that Monster was derived from the old-Dutch word monster, which meant amongst others “big church” (from Latin: monstrum), which is supported by the fact that Monster had in those days one of the largest churches in the area

      Question is, is he robbing monsters, or is he a monster that robs?

        He can’t be robbing the undead, or Rob Zombie could sue. He is probably stealing from the poor, so Rob Lowe might have a case here.
