    I'm not sure what your smoking but you have no idea what your talking about. Yes I know evil capitalist paranoia is the new black on /. but that's to much of a stretch even for semi-sane people.

    Bain Capital had nothing to do with what happened to TRU that happened after Lazarus stepped down. The board put John Eyler in charge and he murdered the company with an expensive brick-&-mortar rebuild/re-brand that was never completed. He's also the reason TRU signed the bad (for them) contract to let Amazon build and run the enter online store that eventually bankrupted the company in 2000 because he couldn't understand the internet.

    Bane Capital didn't enter the picture until 2005 and even that was a partnership with Vornado Realty Trust which ultimately couldn't save the brand after the 2008/09 stock market crash that removed any value to the brick-&-mortar buildings. I'm a bit surprised they didn't liquidate sooner as the only year after 2000 TRU came close to making money was 2013.

    Bain had nothing to do with Kay Bee Toys which couldn't fix itself when the mall's declined in the 90's. They sold the company to Consolidated Stores (you know Big Lots) who then liquidated all of the stores and sold the name only to Toys R Us.

    ToysRUs isn't just going out of business due to poor management.

    Keep in mind they just settled the decade old TRS vs Amazon & Amazon vs TRS lawsuits (mostly in Amazon's favor) a few years ago and Amazon has been targeting them for longer than they have Wal-Mart.

    This is just a case of the wolves picking the bones clean during a fire sale.

    The "Bill of Rights" only applies to naturally born or legalized USA citizens. Kim DotCom is nether of those things so your argument is invalid on the face of it. In fact no country claims the fuctard. Germany, New Zealand, and Hong Cong sure do not want him.

    I'm not disagreeing that forfeiture is scummy at best and illegal in most cases but arguing it for a non-citizen is fairly stupid and in the same boat as saying international terrorists should get there day in US court.

  19. "We" as in naturally born or legalized USA citizens have Due Process rights.
    Kim DotCom nor anyone not of the ""naturally born or legalized USA citizens"" part does not.

    India specifically gets US dollars to fund it's green industry pretty much forever. China gets to keep uping emissions for 13 years and then the US pays them to use green energy that they are already building. Russia just gets to ignore the entire thing.

    Several other 3rd world countries also gets US dollars but not as bad as the above. It was a horrible accord that only an idiot would sign *John Kerry*
