JD.com's Billionaire CEO Was Arrested On Allegation of Rape (bloomberg.com)
JD.com's billionaire founder, Liu Qiangdong, is under investigation for a suspected rape in a weekend incident that led to his arrest in Minnesota. He was reportedly in Minneapolis for his studies since he is a doctoral student at the University of Minnesota. According to the Financial Times and Star-Tribune, the case involves a Chinese student at the college. Bloomberg reports: Liu was brought in at 11:32 p.m. Aug. 31 on an accusation of "criminal sexual conduct" and released just more than 16 hours later, according to arrest records. Minneapolis Police Department spokesman John Elder said the case is being investigated as a rape, but authorities decided not to keep Liu in custody and haven't imposed any travel restrictions while conducting their investigation. Police responded to a location Friday night, found Liu and another individual, took photos and arrested the CEO, Elder said. Liu, 45, returned to China after his release and was at work Tuesday at JD.com, the country's largest e-commerce company after Alibaba.
Look at what happened to Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
His career was destroyed and then the charges were dropped. So he was punished despite being convicted of nothing. So much for "presumption of innocence".
Meanwhile I heard that Harvey Weinstein is still out on bail.
As he should be. He hasn't been convicted of anything (yet).
We should not complain when rich people are treated fairly. We should complain when people, rich or poor, are treated unfairly.
Reminds me of a joke. A prostitute walks into a bar and hands over a 100 dollar note to the bartender and asks for a drink. Bartender says the note is counterfeit. She shouts " I have been raped!!"
Its obvious that he is hosting parties with Escorts and then there are some disputes on what was paid for and what was not.
Hint: those are not the same thing, and billionaires generally don't need to be sexually predatory. Human females are hypergamic, and therefore throw themselves all over men with peak status traits, such as extreme wealth. If anything, someone in his position has to reject advances of opposite sex too aggressively.
