Reply to comment by Arleare13 in Hasidic School to Pay $8 Million After Admitting to Federal Fraud by Jordie1010

"In all, the school agreed to pay $5 million in fines in addition to the more than $3 million it had already paid in restitution as part of the deal to avoid prosecution."

So, they are just returning 8 million in stolen taxpayer money! and being given a slap on the wrist (again). Yeah there have been many other cases of this from these talmudic schools in the past.

well, this all makes complete sense to me... Merika ~

every industry is corrupt. even religion is corrupt. Society makes that possible when people (like you) fail to see the point. That point being that the city allowed itself to betray a contract with the drivers who it had sold it's medallions to by failing to properly regulate them to their benefit and finally allow idiot tech bro's lobby them to look the other way while they turned their backs completely on them. this isn't case, it merely serves as an example of a systemic problem of elected politicians not standing up for the people's interests they are supposed to represent.

Maybe a little more context would help you understand my point.

Simply saying it was a "bad business decision doesn't cut it.

There was an implied contract between The City of NY and the Owners of NYC Taxi medallions. Before Uber and Lyft came along it was illegal to take a paying passenger fare without a NYC Medallion and a approved vehicle.

So in essence the were drivers were secure in knowing that the City Medallions issued by the TLC were regulated and their investment was secure.

That is until they were lobbied by Lyft and Uber to allow them to completely barge in and "disrupt" the implied agreement the medallion owners had payed for and counted on to make a living.

tell that to the NYC Taxi medallion owner's who paid nearly $1,000,000 for the exclusive right to drive a taxi in NYC and were then undercut by Uber and Lyft. I think I remember at least a couple of dozen NYC Taxi medallion owners who have committed suicide because they could not make payments or support themselves or their families anymore since 2016.

In essence they paid $1,000,000 for a right that Uber and Lyft drivers got for practically free.

How would that make you feel?
