Desperate for that blue check money

The same system he was responsible for sending people into as part of his daily work, assuming they were still alive.

So much of our economy is export driven. Particularly to China and particularly coal. Sad.

It's the fact that there is no extradition treaty in place that would give a legal basis to get him back making it not so easy. Also, the justice department only agreed on letting him out on bail only because they could thought they could manage the flight risk by imposing travel restrictions. It says all this in the article.

This part is my opinion but seeing as he helped launder money for terrorist groups, many of which are based in that region of the world, combined with the other resources at his disposal, there is a definite risk that he has a "change of heart" and attempts to evade his sentence.

They're still out there just moved to different platforms now. It's not really the win she thinks it is. There's HIGHLY questionable/NSFL stuff even on TikTok and Google Photos.

I used to have pi-hole setup and a housemate complained that he could no longer click on Google ads 🙄

You can run your own mail server and keep your emails on a device you control instead of e.g., gmail.

It's non-trivial so most people stick with letting someone else handle it. Just like you're probably not running your own Lemmy instance, but Lemmy is still decentralized.

As obscenely wealthy as he is, that wealth comes from bis assets not cash in hand. $20B of the $44B paid was cash, some of which was from selling some of his Tesla shares. Further to that, Tesla stock dropped so significantly it caused his net worth to drop by a further $30B.
