The 2010 DNA evidence that showed a match with Pelicot did not make it into the case file at the time. It is unclear why. But the cold case was reopened by an investigating magistrate in Nanterre after Pelicot’s 2020 arrest for raping his wife. Questioned by police in 2022, Pelicot first denied any involvement, until he was presented with the DNA evidence of his blood on the shoe.

Ffs, this guy appears to be even more evil than we’d thought. Sounds like he’s very likely tied to a murder.

Show your true colors, cops. Security for the elite. With tax payer dollars. What a disgrace.

Not me, officer.

 

As many folks here now recognize, the story about Backpage was grossly misleading. While the narrative pushed by politicians and the media was that the company was engaged in sex trafficking, the DOJ had actually commended the company for being a strong partner in the fight against sex trafficking. Indeed, the eventual takedown of Backpage days before FOSTA went into effect (which we were told was necessary to shut down Backpage) has been shown to make life more difficult for law enforcement trying to stop sex trafficking.

But I thought politicians told us the truth? /s

What a dumbass. “Think I’ll just directly violate the findings of a court and see if they notice.”

Chuck Feeney is unique on this list of billionaires who went broke because his substantial net worth loss was intentional. Feeney founded Duty Free Shoppers, the airport retailer, then launched private equity firm General Atlantic, accumulating a net worth of around $8 billion. He decided to give virtually all his money away to various domestic and international charities and philanthropic efforts over his last 40 years or so. In September 2020, Feeney closed down his philanthropy company, having given away his wealth, minus retirement savings for him and his wife.

The only "good one" on the list. Also:

Some serious crazy eyes going on there.

Yeah, I agree overall in that I do far less work than I used to because I've got older and realized I only have to do as much as is required to keep my job. On the other hand, there's the lazy where I don't take care of a thing that is actually for me, like picking up a prescription when the weather sucks.

What? I'm talking about the astronauts who can't go home.

I believe that you didn't intend to kill someone. You still killed someone.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 day ago

Go hard. I'm happy not to receive packages while workers fight for better working conditions.

 

I used to like him. I worked for the company when he took over. On the first day in the driver's seat, he sent an email to all employees stating that the policy on company-matched donations to charities was being expanded. I can't remember the details, but it was something about adding charities that SJ considered too political or something (SJ liked to keep the brand away from controversy, which is why you've never been able to get a porn app in the App Store).

I thought it was a classy way of signaling to everyone, "I'm in charge now." I really had a lot of respect for Tim Apple as a result.

The way he's fucked things around for third party developers with the App Store tax and locking down what developers can build has been so tone-deaf in the last however many years that Apple released a breakthrough hardware device (Vision Pro) and it's basically useless because no one wants to build for it. I know that he's sucking up to ensure that the admin favors his company's needs wrt manufacturing in China, but it's still a feckless move. Fuck Tim Apple. He's part of the problem now. Not like Ol' Lonnie or Zuck, but still a problem.

I remember when I liked him better when I liked him better.

This got deleted when someone else posted it, apparently. It was still open on my phone, so I’m trying to preserve it
