I mean I personally prefer a golden calf, but I suppose that'll do in a pinch.

Yeah well what about all the people involved who weren't JE? Though I guess it made sense to go after him first.

Those that weren't Americans were hard to get.

JE was the corner stone of their investigation.  Once they could get him facing a lot of time in jail, they could convince him to talk, possibly.

As Minsky said, he got a very favorable plea deal in Florida, then the FBI had to start again, then he died.

The problem with that theory is we can now see at least part of the evidence the FBI had on others.  They didn't need JE to talk.

'Don Colossus' — a 22-foot tall Golden statue of Trump — is set to rise where US will host world leaders for G20
The bronze likeness of the 45th and 47th president was commissioned by a group of cryptocurrency investors

I'm more than a little concerned that the Alberta secessionists will be the backdoor that Trump would use to "liberate" Canada should he and his handlers choose to do so.

It's clearly the play they're setting up for.

Yep

Very odd list. Rare to see one of these with Chinese universities so low, Tsinghua normally comes pretty high for example.

I know McGill has some issues with the language law stuff ( we talked about it briefly) , but I didn't think the effect would be that fast. So could be other factors.

Restrictions on international students, maybe? It's hard to come in Quebec and Canada now than it used to be, even for studies.

We can also observe that in our society there is strong social pressure against adults having relationships with pubescent and just-out-of-puberty kids. But social pressure does not remove the underlying individual impulse.

Yeah, it used to be pretty much the norm, and still is in some countries that an older man can marry a young woman.  Or have sex with young boys in cultures where homosexuality is frowned upon.
