    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.

      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)

      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.
