He forgot the cardinal rule of hiring a hitman... don’t. Your probability of talking to the police or a buffoon who will get you caught is close to 100%. Actual hit men work for established criminal organizations, and don’t look on Craigsli

Or, you host a video site like YouTube, you’re not aggressive enough in controlling “hate speech,” and Apple boots you from the platform. How, as a user of this app, am I supposed to re-establish control over my account?

But they have that money today. They can spend it on lawyers. If they win, they still have it, if they lose, well now they go bankrupt just $55m more in the hole than before. It’s not like anything will happen to the executives.
