On the list of the things I doubt nowadays, an Amazon or Amazon subsidiary CEO going to jail is way up at the top.
They’ll get a national security letter for sure, but no one’s going to jail.
- whatever1 9mo agoLikely the first one will immediately fold to avoid jail. But for context the head of the FED is currently investigated for criminal charges, governors, mayors, judges etc. Why is a CEO of a company so special? Within hours the board can appoint another one.
- rapsey 9mo agoYou don't get to be the size of amazon and not be completely cooperative with the three letter agencies. Thinking Amazon is going to be some sort of resistance is just incredibly naive. They are an extension of US power, not an independent entity.
- SteveNuts 9mo agoWell I didn't say they wouldn't cooperate (very likely they would cave to any national security letter), I said there's no way they'd end up in jail. Politicians want their donations.
- Waterluvian 9mo agoThe one thing I’ve learned without it taking a stupid long time is that there’s no more things that are too ridiculous to imagine happening. The American regime is an irrational actor. They’ll do whatever.
- zwaps 9mo agoYou know that your president is about to put the head of the federal reserve in prison on trumped up charges? The US is not s country with rule of law anymore. It is a country that is rules by power.
