I know little about this case but remember the wild show Kim put on before his arrest. The way I saw it then was his colleagues pleaded guilty and where never extradited so my assumption was new Zealand would bend to his favour but I guess interpretation of rule of law is above precedence... I wish I could say I know what Im talking about.

The bulk of the claims will more then likely come from Hollywood film studios.

The 2nd, 3rd Generations ahead are entitled to that wealth they did not work for it, they simply accepted it as a gift from there relative or mother and father. They are not matching each dollar pound for pound with sweat over there foreheads. Wealth squandered, I just didn't think that 70-90% lose there wealth, it seems like an immense number to me but when you consider how careless and uninformed people get, it is not entirely surprise.

A lot of media in Canada is subsidized, the government needs to justify its expenses somehow. It has nothing to do with Canadian exceptionalism or something like that.

"I wanted to fund students at Einstein so that they would receive free tuition," Dr Gottesman said she immediately realised. "There was enough money to do that in perpetuity."

I have never heard of a school getting this lucky from there alumni/faculty and even hearing there students getting something out of it so it touched my heart I have always had a toxic opinion about my teachers. Perhaps this could turn into an example for the rest of Americas medical schools in the coming decades.

“inconsistent with Microsoft’s suggestion to this Court that the two companies will operate independently post-merger.”

I believe there was supposed to be a 10 year pause to any structural changes to Activision in addition to keeping the Call of Duty IP non-exclusive, firing these workers is a gain for Microsoft as it recoups cash from the merger and if anything this makes Activision dependent on its new parent Microsoft so the FTC has a good point here but I doubt they will get anything.

considering how silly some of these court documents where and the tacky controversial nonsense arguments from the executives at Microsoft and Sony... and the 'gamers lawsuit' you would be tricked into believing if whether this where just another marketing trick from Microsoft.
