I'm confused. Was there another CEO killed or harmed? Or was it still just the one? I mean, if CEOs were falling like flies in NY state, then I guess it would make sense to have a special hotline for a task force or something.

But if it's still a tiny number of CEOs, then something like this would be a giant waste of government resources.

I think you underestimate how deeply those in power value a CEO vs any one of us.

Edited to add that every single detail about how this case has been handled proves that.

Then again, journalists are mostly fair game.

The only other one I know of is Bob Lee, the Cash App one a year and a half ago. The circumstances were completely different however, as His brother-in-law stabbed him in a 'scuffle' after Bob supposedly became manic (from drugs and/or alcohol) and attacked the guy.

The case has been ongoing since, though the jury is supposed to read a verdict in a little under 7 hours (9:30am PST)

Sometimes, wasting government resources is the point.
