I'm honesty shocked this got 'won' to this extent.
I would have figured that they had enough money, lawyers, and accountants, to quash most of this.
Yeah, of course they're not actually personally going to rot in prison, that's for little people.
Relative to a lot of other shit, this is a rare, near actual W for consumer protection in the US, by the standards of similar precedents.
... shame so many victims are already dead, lives ruined.
I'm kind of just surprised the legal system still functions at all, at this point, for people with a net worth over ~$100m.
We need to stop defaulting to "of course rich people won't personally go to prison." It only helps enable that in the courts. We need to be furiously protesting these courts and their decisions. Enforce EQUALITY in the court systems.
Talk all you want, won't matter unless we get a lot more Luigis, or something like that.
Me, personally, I'm sick to death of 'consensus building' and 'starting a discussion'.
We're at least a, if not two decades beyond that point.
Sitting around talking on the internet or in real life already got monetized and turned into a profit engine by the same system that makes the wealthy into untouchable demigods.
