If the situation remains in crisis I completely agree, I just think that may be a premature decision because the roommate has been successfully managing their issues and leading a normal life the last 5-10+ years.

Is it that you don't believe these pieces of malware are generating fake engagement on Google's properties? Or that Clicks, Views & Users don't matter to Google?

It's part of the affiliate fraud...

As a major media organization they definitely should have known better with the timing but I suppose they weren't expecting their employee's to turn it into a major story.

So it wouldn't be confiscation or a punishment if the courts said you owed me a few years of your salary - because theoretically I could decide to give it back to you in the future? If you want to wire me a few years of your compensati
