Good.

With that said, the CEO has mostly escaped responsibility unfairly.

Agreed. Devin Wenig (the aforementioned CEO) is a thug and criminal who should be in prison.

His statements about this incident are laughable; he claimed in a statement recently that the harassment of the couple was “deliberately done in secret and without my knowledge.” Yet the emails/texts made public as part of the case show him making statements like “take her down… do whatever it takes.”[0]

Absolute scum of the earth. I still have some hope that he’ll be charged criminally, given the renewed publicity this case is getting.
