Thanks for putting the least important part of the article in the title.

I was about to say your welcome but then I noticed the said "least important" and so I won't.

He will bribe the right people and the drug and arms charges will go away.

but his being 67 and have a girlfriend 50 years his junior will stay with me forever.

also having cops kill your dog is uncool.

It's really none of your business what he does in his private life though. The raid was over manufacturing unauthorized antibiotics, which you didn't think to mention in your title.

You seem to be projecting a morality that I am afraid I lack. you are completely forgiven. :)

In all seriousness I think the story is about how the very wealthy interact with poor countries.

Did you notice how the new-stories focus on the "bogus" arrest angle and hide the antibiotics thing in the story? What do you think that means? I have yet to find a story that take the charges seriously. I personally think he is guilty as charged and is a very shady duck. what is your take.

I totally agree that he's a criminal. You don't have to drag his personal proclivities into it though.

I think I am coming from a different place I don't find being a criminal that horrifying but having a minor girlfriend in your mid-sixties shows low character.
