The five dudes convicted in the Central Park jogger case had their sentences vacated.  A serial rapist who's DNA matched confessed to the crime.  NYC is settling for $40 million.  From NPR.

Only the settling bit is news. I thought this felt old and sure enough, sentences were vacated back in '02.

I'm getting forgetful in my old age. Bought some nuggets and a drink at McDonald's.... Completely failed to remember to take my drink wth me when I left

If not, why so many convictions?  :hmm:
Even if there is only one perpetrator reported, you still wouldn't want the other four perfectly good confessions to go to waste.

It was an article about Inditex,  not wealthy people.

That's a little weird.  How did Bill, who has been giving his money away, pass Slim, who is still making more?

Slim lost 700 million today. How much of it is in his couch, and how much under the seat of his car?
