I hate these stories, because we have no idea which side is true. The reckless drive is the only charge than can be proven, or at least have vitnesses. Crimina

I hate these stories, because we have no idea which side is true. The reckless drive is the only charge than can be proven, or at least have vitnesses. Criminal charges really should be kept out of the media until there’s enough evidence to jail the suspect. This is to protect both sides.

Except for politicians (and perhaps government officials)? Rich people?

  The moment you define “rich people”, though, all people who fit that definition will suddenly transfer all of their assets to their spouses and immediately divorce them, heh. Assessing a person's actual worth is not an easy task. Not impossible, mind you, but not easy.

I am a woman and just scrolling through the NYT article header made me cringe, it felt like a hit peice. Judging by how previous incidents have been portrayed by the media, NYT included, I never take sides. It's up for the courts to determine this.

> Criminal charges really should be kept out of the media until there’s enough evidence to jail the suspect That's why some countries in the EU, and the UK, have laws protecting the identity of people until after sentencing. E.g. in Bulgaria only their initials can be used, and no photos are allowed. In the UK, they just vaguely describe them (footballer from Manchester in his 20s accused of sexual assault).

Well it would have been in the media due to him resigning anyway, regardless of the truth or otherwise of the recent allegations. While I don't know about the recent stuff there seems clear evidence he was sketchy financially re the original setting salaries to 70k thing. He claimed he did that and then his brother and fellow shareholder sued him for doing it but really the brother launched the suit before that happened objecting to him paying himself a $1m+ salary and hence grabbing the profits and making all salaries $70k was probably a reaction to the suit.

  Interesting how the media continues to bring up the lawsuit but never share the real story and the outcome to the lawsuit. I guess it is more profitable to spread lies. Here is one article sharing the details after the lawsuit with Dan and his brother. People should do more research before blasting opinions. It is terrible what the US is allowed to share and spread buyer to gain more article clicks! https://www.geekwire.com/2016/dan-price-70k-ceo-prevails-suit-filed-brother-gravity-payments-co-owner/ https://www.geekwire.com/2016/dan-price-70k-ceo-prevails-sui...
