Not sure if that changes much. They still contributed to it.

No, all they did was lock him up in a death camp forever without charges.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

In this case, there actually were charges, which he had entered a guilty plea for:

He was arrested in January at a CVS after the store reported him for fraudulently using a credit card to buy gift cards, according to Lower Paxton Township police. "An investigation was initiated, where Ge was found to be in possession of numerous stolen credit card numbers located within his cell phone," police said.

Ge was arrested for criminal use of a communication facility, unlawful use of a computer and access device fraud, according to ICE.

Ge, who was from Flushing, Queens, pleaded guilty to accessing a device issued to another who did not authorize use and conspiracy to commit the same on July 31, according to ICE, and was sentenced to six to 12 months for each count and granted immediate release to the ICE detainer.

Per the article, that's all according to ICE.

I'm at the point where I'd like someone else to verify the charges before I believe that's what was filed.

But frankly, if ICE says the sky is blue, I'm checking for rain.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No the first part is from the Lower Praxton Police. They handed him over to ICE after.

I agree with not trusting ICE, but that part isn't coming from them. Here's the police blotter from his arrest:

Ah, I stand corrected. Thanks for linking that!

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Or it was staged to look like a suicide

[–] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

AKA being Epsteined.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Maybe. Or maybe not.

There was no explanation as to how they eliminated any possibility of foul play. Just a mention of a handwritten note, and the assurances of fascists that there is no reason to suspect them.

It just seems, I dunno, fishy. Shower room instead of in his cell, for instance. But either way there's not really any way to prove it. It's just i guess the first thing in my mind was they cornered him in the shower area, and quickly scribbled down a success note knowing there will not ever be even an investigation. But I'm making plenty of assumptions, so...

Very tragic. Another senseless casualty to this hate filled movement by fuckers who can't handle being afraid of the fact that they don't actually matter in this world. 🤬🤮

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

… a success note …

I know this was just a typo/auto-suggest error, but it feels like one of those silly self-censoring things the kids do these days.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 8 months ago

OMG. Yeah, I'm leaving that just the way it is!!

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

it was definitely murder:
a. showers don’t have cameras, so people commit violence there
b. very limited time in the showers with guards usually watching or at least nearby….

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 8 months ago

Also, if you actually to want to die, you don't to be found and rescued, so in your cell or somewhere else your gonna not be noticed.

So, yeah. Also, a guy that has all those stolen cards is motivated as hell to run that many cons. Not to mention the way suicide would stain family honor for most oriental cultures.

Etc,etc...

You just think Epstein also killed himself.
