* Related to the above: why isn't Louie in this episode? Because, unlike Huey and Dewey, he probably would have no moral problems with Mark Beaks's GetRichQuickScheme.

* As noted on the main page, Dewey's role in this episode at first appears to be a CompressedVice, acting more like Louie would than himself. FridgeBrilliance kicks in when one realizes that putting Dewey in a role that one would think should belong to Louie gives Dewey's character more layers of depth. First off, it shows that despite Huey and Dewey being the oldest two out of the four main kids, they still have their notable differences. Although Dewey is BookDumb - but not as lazy or as underhanded as Louie - he is also shown to be more levelheaded and morally tight than Huey when placed under pressure.

* At the end of the episode, Mark Beaks accepts Glomgold's invitation to the billionaire yacht party, which is Step One in his EvilPlan to murder Beaks. Sure, Glomgold's plan is ridiculously convoluted, but considering how oblivious Beaks can behave, there is a small chance that it will succeed. Beaks [[AssholeVictim deserves some kind of punishment]] for his {{Jerkass}} behavior, but getting eaten by a shark or burning in a volcano is [[DisproportionateRetribution a bit too much]]...
** Fortunately? He's fine, appears in a later episode AOK.

* Many websites and reviewers have assumed on first watch that Mark Beaks' company is called "Waddle", due to how fast the name is usually said, because it's a word associated with ducks, and because of [[GravityFalls another popular Disney show that shares some of the creative team.]] However a look at the shape of their company logo reveals the business is named "Wattle" - as in the fleshy bits under a rooster's chin.
* Why does the security for Wattle seem to be so incompetent against Falcon Graves? Is he [[TheWorfEffect taking them out because he's that dangerous]] or did Mark Beaks [[SwissCheeseSecurity deliberately hire less than competent security to aid the saboteur he himself hired]]? Or maybe the whole thing is a XanatosGambit by Mark Beaks and he's fine no matter how competent his security ends up being. After all, he wants his nonexistent project Tah-Dah to be stolen so he doesn't have to refund his investors. If Falcon Graves succeeds, then he's golden, but if Falcon Graves is caught, then he can claim the man was a planned distraction while someone else stole the project and he doesn't even have to pay his hired pawn. It would certainly explain why he's so laissez-faire about the whole thing and keeps stalling Graves as much as he can.

* The decor in the Billionaire's room reflects the times in which Scrooge and Glomgold made their fortunes. Scrooge being old money is decorated with antiques, high-backed chairs, and deep reds, while Glomgold's, who came to fortune later and mostly through branding, is mid-century modern with glass and chrome.

* What's Graves' reaction when he finds out who hired him? Not "Why would you hire me to steal from ''you''?!" but "Why would you hire me to steal something that doesn't exist?!" He's probably used to being hired in the old "steal my own property as part of an insurance scam" plot (how many times have we seen that in fiction?), but having someone hire you to steal something that person knows doesn't exist must be a first.
