    We all tend to misunderstand law and how it’s applied. To be fair, the judge is waiting to see how the feds pursue this. That’s a normal thing, especially in a landmark case like this.

    But a court ordered no-show seems a cut and dried arrest warrant.

      For real, the instant the courts are intimidated by the wealth of an individual, we know that that’s a level of wealth that should be made effectively unattainable.

      But nah, that’s unprofitable. So we must be satisfied with modern day feudalism.
