Was there any discussion about this change? Or is this it.

I can see why you would think this, but this is a very unusual case. Particularly so given the decision in this article.

You're dead right in that rich people don't go broke like the rest of us - because they have accountants and lawyers set up complex business structures so if something falls over they can just walk away (or drive away in their nice car to their nice house).

This article is pretty much saying that all that usual dance isn't going to work in this case - he still has to pay $1.1b.

Also, there's no law that prevents him from going on making money. That may not feel "right" or just but that dynamic is the same even for poor people. That said, at 100k per month it would take him 916 years to pay $1.1b soo... he might curtail his luxurious lifestyle, maybe not.

This is the same chicken / egg thing as plastic pollutions.

Sure consumers choice of whether to discard or recycle a plastic straw is nothing compared to the decisions of corporations, but then consumers invest in those companies, buy their products, and elect representatives who do not hold them accountable.

Big tech has ruined the internet because people were willing to trade their privacy and their attention in order to watch gifs of cats playing the piano. I'm not "blaming" people for that - hell, I was one of them, but you can't solve the problem without understanding how it's perpetuated.

There's no need to answer.

Stop whatever it was they detected. Don't do that any more.

Meanwhile reddit was convinced they were going to go bankrupt the day after they killed account sharing.

Yeah the "great wall" Ute's et cetera have a terrible reputation here. They're bottom tier fleet vehicles.

Campers & trailers are the same. Too thin to be repaired.

Is this really tech news?

I'm prejudiced against Chinese manufacturing - it's all shit.

I am kinda Asian LOL.

It's just that most non-electronic Chinese manufactured stuff is just terrible build quality.

Is it racist to say I'd never buy a Chinese car just on principle?

What article? That's an ad.

I mean your right. I'd love to see him in jail.

It's just that people with far more political and legal credibility than me are going to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the opportunities to cry foul as are minimal as possible.

You're absolutely correct that this behavior reprehensible and all the rest but that specifically isn't a crime.
