This is some serious unprecedented bullshit. Especially when their charge was money laundering. Basically he is making money laundering legal. Go ahead and break the law. Trump will pardon you…

You’re welcome. Fuck paywalls, and fuck clickbait that buries the actual info behind the paywall.

i have never known the intercept to paywall stuff?
I didn’t either. But that was maybe because I was a long time subscriber…
i don’t give them money but i’m on their email list. i just saw a request to donate that i dismissed and it went right to the article.
Same here.
Add
12ft.io/
in front of the URL. It’s a proxy that bypasses paywalls.Never ever worked for me.
Thank you! I immediately wondered if OP was a shill since s/he also didn’t name the company in the title or summary.
I didn’t realize it was paywalled. I didn’t see it because I was a subscriber.
Don’t post subscription shit
Next time I will paywall remove it first.
Thanks! But I could easily read the full article without seeing a paywall in this case
There is no paywall. It does require you provide an email. Doesn’t have to be a real email, just email format.
It does require you provide an email.
Yeah, fuck that. Extra unnecessary steps.
I did some testing. The form accepts anything in the format *@*.* so long as each * segment only contains appropriate characters. The domain itself doesn’t need to be real, but the suffix needs to be real.
“a@b.cd” works.
Suffix? You mean the TLD?
Yes, the TLD. Wasn’t really sure if most people would know what a top-level domain is.

Kinda makes sense no? Corporations are people and are treated as such in courts.
Well, except criminal court where sentencing is a joke because no human is held accountable.
Kill a bunch of people? That’ll be a fine you pass on to your customers.

“Corporations are people driving cars”
If a corporation used self driving cars that’s exactly how an accident would be dealt with….
Since I wasn’t clear at all in my first comment: I’m referring to the fact that people can also get away with murder, as long as they’re driving a car at the time. Very rarely is it much more than a slap on the wrist, but it’s always significantly less than any other form of negligent homicide.
I refuse to parrot the phrase “corporations are people” unless I’m being clearly sarcastic, or add, “the shitty US supreme court has incorrectly ruled that” beforehand.
?? It’s the same in Canada, and the EU as far as I am aware. It’s a pretty normal thing?
If people have death penalty, corporations should also have one
Businesses have been sued out of business before. Not QUITE what you mean, but the ends still the same.
Oh, I remember Citizens United
