investigation into sexual assault and harassment

Assault and not just harassment.

This makes more sense. The headline just says harassment which is generally a civil suit where you get sued but not arrested. Assault is criminal that you will be arrested over.

    I don't know if I have ever heard of an American exec being properly punished by the law.

    It's not the building that the problem, it's the transporting the guillotine, the public event permits, hiring security, finding a suitable venue, organising biohazard cleanup, not to mention ticket master fees.

    And that's all before you need to actually pry your chosen billionaire out of their secure vehicles or offices or residences and invite them to participate.

    I agree, but he technically was an executive that got what was coming to them, or at least received something close to a just punishment. If they all got what he got we might have less assholes ruining everything for profit
