There was previously discussion about Russell Brand denying allegations that were to be shown in a TV documentary, and now things are developing.

Who's profiting? Can you provide an example with Brands case?

[–] Decompose@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Russel Brand is fighting the establishment and hurting the big pockets, see the video below, and there's absolutely zero proof he did anything whatsoever. It's just anonymous with zero evidence, zero investigations, and just anonymous nonsense. Once this goes to court, then we talk about legitimacy. Innocent until proven guilty.

Okay let's rewind a bit, I asked you to provide an example of someone who was making money off this.

Saying "the establishment" and "big pockets" really isn't cutting it, can you or can you not name one party who's directly profiting off this? Can you actually prove the link between a victims testimony and someone being reimbursed?

I need names and dollar figures, not this sensationalist rambling.

Really? OK. Let's ask the dictionary what "profit" means. This is the first answer from Merriam Webster:

": a valuable return : GAIN"

So excuse me for not having that event listed in S&P500 reports... you petty little man.
