This assumption, given our total lack of information, gives me pause. It is not (and should not be) unusual to arrest an executive for willful violation of local laws by the company they own and lead.
I think we are at an impasse, we both are going to build this off of a different set of assumptions and priors which make our conclusions incompatible without more information. Fortunately, France cannot make him disappear indefinitely without the information becoming public enough for us to draw our own, more informed conclusions.
- akira2501 2y agoI assume on behalf of citizens against government as a matter of policy. If you've not been targeted by the government before you might not understand this position. The government has all the advantages, massive resources, sweeping extralegal powers and and the end of the day they've seemingly abandoned all of that to target a CEO on a layover. I don't personally like this guy or his company. I'm sure there's something wrong with how they are operating. I still cannot give the French or any other government the benefit of the doubt here.
