The takeaway here is that when a multi-trillion dollar company breaks a 130-year old law in a way that impacts over one hundred million people, our justice system and government is so broken and incompetent that it takes five years of investigation before anything happens. Probably years more before any action is taken.
Cool, good job lawyers. The latency of your Leviathan ruins more lives than its power could ever hope to save.
I generally agree with your sentiment, maybe more when it comes to people like Donald Trump or SBF...
But what do you want them to do? Build a shitty case in 1 year and get destroyed in court?
Remember, Apple has thousands of lawyers too, they aren't going to settle this case.
I think that is a false dichotomy the lawyers have created: have a slow moving system or a system where justice isn't served.
Our current system is slow and unjust. There are other options.
My wife and I tried to be foster parents, we did it for about three months, but everything was so slow moving. We had to spend 30 days just to have a piece of paper signed that no one contested. That moment opened my eyes to the corruption the lawyers have willfully constructed and willfully participate in and I have hated the entire legal profession since that moment. The system from the simplest cast to the most complex is designed to pad billable hours without concern for latency, justice, or consistency.
It is a sham system.
