Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

that's why i fear the chinese model of shooting people like this will eventually prevail, tho' i'm agin the death penalty in principle.

allowing people like this to repeatedly get away with it, indeed enabling them on the public's back spells ruin for the body politic, and ultimately the nations and all citizens, especially those still unborn.

these staid, upright people would never tolerate irresponsibility like this in their immediate families, it'd spell chaos, yet they're allowed to cavort and wave their bonuses in our faces, even after what they've done, gambling away the family farm, and the future income of generations, retirement funds of people who've worked their whole lives propping up a system they trusted as fair, while these masters of disaster were getting obesely rich chewing through the foundations.

it's pathological sociopathy writ large... and our future chinese masters will not put up with it.

It may come to that, but un-systematically and and without the benefit of legal cover.
