The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There is a lengthy list in this article, ostensibly obtained from court records.

Did you mean to cite another article? There's no lengthy list in that one. The only other person who is mentioned is Prince Andrew.

Anyway, I don't want to veer down this rabbit hole when there are better examples of the FBI's lack of vigor in pursuing certain crimes, eg the women's gymnastic team.

There is indeed a long, sad history in this country of not believing accusations of sexual assault. That's the whole basis for the "me too" movement. But Larry Nassar (nor any of the other horrible people involved) wasn't an especially wealthy person, nor a celebrity, and certainly not a politician. From the IG's report, this was a (horribly inexcusable) failure on their part to take these allegations seriously and follow through with transferring the case to the right people (the big breakdown was in not documenting the initial witness statements and properly referring the case to Lansing. It wasn't a grand conspiracy, and it wasn't because the FBI (as an institution) supports child molestation - it was specific agents who didn't take it seriously and couldn't be bothered to do what had to be done to move the case along.
