Harvey Weinstein
Discussion
IIRC the issue is that legal cases are sooooo expensive in the US that even if HW is innocent it'd cost him more than the $44m to defend himself so I can understand it from financial perspective. I will say though that I cannot imagine that if someone had 100% raped me I'd be accepting his $$ to go away

If it was consensual, why is he paying them off?
If it wasn't consensual, he should go to jail.
Money shouldn't come into it.
He doesn’t want to roll the dice and it suits everyone.If it wasn't consensual, he should go to jail.

A few years ago, I had an altercation and was very happy I would win in court, but I was told, a loss would be jail time. I was happy I was in the right, the CPS were happy I was not. 30 mins before I was offered a 50hrs Community Service for a guilty plea to a much lesser charge...I took it. The worst case scenario was worse than one I could live with.
If you’ve bought a perfectly steamed item of clothing in a charity shop in SE London, I hope you’re happy with it

Appears to have pulled a zimmerframe out of a skip and found a terrible suit to wear for his latest appearance?

Radio 4 item this morning stated that Weinstein won't lose a penny, the compensation payments will be met by insurance policies held by the film studio.
The company is in Chapter 11, possibly moving to Chapter 7 liquidation. There were also suggestions that he might file for personal bankruptcy. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
