Back when I still watched TV, I used to love Million Dollar Listings LA/NY.  Now I watch Enz's YT channel.  There is another guy I like but I haven't subscribed to him and can't remember his name.

The charges are stemming back to high school.

 

My heart breaks. 😞😥

What is wrong with rich and powerful men and their inability to not rape.

I will never understand it. Is it entitlement? Never having anyone say no? 

It doesn't help that responsibility for crimes such as these is not enforced in a timely way if ever.

@monicakm 🤗

Yes I love watching all the luxury home shows!! I also like watching Sara Gore that hosts “Open House”

I was surprised Ryan didn’t hold the record in NYC real estate too.
I saw a clip where Ryan was asked, before getting into a car in NYC, what he figured Diddys one home would be worth now. He basically said it would be hard to sell considering all that happened in it and maybe drop the value by 25 million.

I looked up the Billionaire who bought the most expensive penthouse in NYC in 2019. it was Citadel CEO Ken Griffin. The brothers also sold him a home in London.
The NYC penthouse is the most expensive home ever sold in the United States.

@RescueLover.  I think we've seen plenty of evidence of that very recently

Re: Real Estate Tycoons the Alexander Brothers arrested

Having lots of money buys power and so much more to put one above the law.  I could give many current examples, there is a parade of  corruption going on and the rich getting richer no matter what laws they break.

Re: Real Estate Tycoons the Alexander Brothers arrested

The data regarding socio-economic status of known/convicted rapists are not collected. 

 

The general consensus is men (usually) from lower status are incorrectly viewed as potentially capable of sexual assault.

 

The rich obviously have the means to continue as serial rapists without having to account for their crimes.

 

These brothers are serial rapists but their mindsets regarding women and sexual assault were developed long ago. Whether others knew and just looked the other way is another point.

They started in high school.

 

20 years of this terrible behavior became the norm for them, not just because of money either.

 

So many unreported assaults, so many women and children living with shame and uncalled for guilt. And some living the physical horrors every single day. And some murdered as the final act.

 

It's easy to point to money and position but underneath is a mindset fuelling sexual assault, be it one time or serial.

 

Power over another person. 😥

Re: Real Estate Tycoons the Alexander Brothers arrested

I don't think having money makes people think they are above the law.  I think it is entitlement.  Their parents never told them no and probably they got away with doing whatever they wished growing up.
