‪One thing you cannot make up I that just found is that this man --William Duplessie--arrested in the crypto torture case, has a brother who also did crypto ventures, who now produces "American Horror Stories" on Hulu and just wrote a book of teen horror stories called "Too Scared to Sleep."

Brock Pierce just entered the crypto torture NYPD bizarro case chat, because of course he did. Duplessie and his brother worked with Pierce closely back to 2017. And of course Brock Pierce is a big Eric Adams backer and was at that crypto fundraiser with Adams THIS WEEK. youtu.be/i98X6MVlDAE?...

NEW: @nbcnews.com reports that an immigration judge dismissed the asylum case of Andry Hernandez, the innocent man currently imprisoned without trial in El Salvador pursuant to a deal between the Trump admin and Nayib Bukele.

The premise of this Free Press column is both that sexual harassment within unequal work relationships isn’t a thing at all AND that women don’t know when they are assaulted or harassed and are by default assumed to be simply regretful consenters. Gross stuff from a female writer.
