Make money doing the work you believe in

A judge just found Canadian business tycoon Frank Stronach guilty of sexually assaulting two women, calling his conduct "gross and disgusting." His lawyer's response to the cameras: "He really is a national treasure."

Read that again. A man just convicted of sexual assault. Called a treasure. By the person paid to speak for him.

Stronach has a second trial coming next May — six more women, six more allegations. That "treasure" line wasn't grief, it wasn't loyalty, it was strategy: pre-soften the next jury pool on the backs of women who just spent decades waiting to be believed.

Money built him a legacy. It doesn't buy him out of what a judge just ruled he did. And it shouldn't buy his lawyer a pass for saying it out loud.

Let’s hear from you - what does everyone think?
