In the big $8 million bust a few years back in the Bay Area, it turned out that they were paying street criminals more to steal specific items like toothpaste, but the police were frustrated by Amazon’s lack of assistance in figuring out all of the involved parties. Can’t find the specific article at the moment but that really stood out to me at the time.

- pclmulqdq 4y agoGod probably doesn't have a lot of lawyers, but Amazon has more lawyers than Satan, too.

- endominus 4y agoAccording to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan, it means "Accuser" and "Adversary". Apparently (according to my foggy memories of a video essay about some high-art film) Satan was originally just the dude that would accuse you of all your sins you committed while mortal.

- bryanrasmussen 4y agoIn essence Satan is the prosecuting attorney, Welcome to America!
- eternalban 4y agoThe accuser.
- bombcar 4y agoOne of the names of Christ is "the Advocate" so perhaps God just has one really good lawyer, and Satan has the rest.
