   Really the dumbest story for an adult to be interested in. This is a patsy with no power. They're happy when you obsess on him. Soon they'll be naming newborn babies as the CEOs of banks, so people who have no understanding of how power works can do exposés on how badly behaved they are.

      Rule #5: "Credit floats up, and blame travels down on the corporate ladder"

      Everyone involved will get their day in court. This is still the evidence-gathering phase in the bigger picture.

         To me it seems the system is actively working towards making that evidence more and more difficult to trace back to them.

      > This is a patsy with no power

      Power is often exercised through patsies. Disabling them—and deterring the next one—really does matter. In this case, turning Big Balls into an example could incentives the next stooge to flip.
