That any insurer would agree to insure the morals of men in the cesspool that is Hollywood simply astounds me. Perhaps insurers will think twice now. I feel that insuring somebody’s morals is inherently unwise. I think it increases the incentive for the insured to be dissolute.
In any case, with attorneys getting a cool $15 million, perhaps morals aren’t the point at all. The fact that the lawyers are facing off against a rogue like Harvey should not earn them a pass on their own probity or lack thereof.
All of this is probably built into the price of your movie ticket and you’ll continue to pay more and more for films which get worse and worse. Oh, the humanity…………….
Nice country, America! Where else can you rape someone today, get slapped on the hand, and then go back outside and play with your friends??!! He should be neutered.
Obviously, Swine-stein will never be able to recruit actresses in the future. But the victims who will not accept the settlement offer may not see justice served unless someone does something to prevent Swine-stein from fleeing the country like Roman Polanski did decades ago.
These five paragraphs show the risk of flight is great; no one should believe the Swine’s lawyer or representatives’ side of the story:
“….. In the criminal case, Illuzzi had argued at an earlier bail hearing that Weinstein had “almost unlimited resources” after making tens of millions of dollars selling his New York properties. He frequently travels by private jet and could leave the country, she said. She said on Wednesday that the man who oversaw Weinstein’s electronic monitoring told her he “panicked” when he couldn’t locate Weinstein in October.
“These were not technical glitches in any way, shape or form,” Illuzzi said. “In the monitor’s opinion, Mr. Weinstein didn’t want people to know where he was.”
Aidala argued that Weinstein has been “100 percent compliant” with the conditions of his bail, saying his client looked forward to the trial “to clear his name for the whole world, most importantly for his immediate family.”
Donna Rotunno, who is also defending Weinstein, said her client hadn’t disabled the device, attributing the lapses to “technical glitches.” She said reception in his Westchester neighborhood was spotty because of a scarcity of cellphone towers in the affluent area.
Rotunno said Weinstein couldn’t be blamed for the glitches because he employed an assistant whose job it was to manage the device for him. Not only was the monitor painful to wear, she said, but Weinstein had to use private jets because it requires him to face additional security screenings when he flies commercially. …”
There are TWO reasons given by Swine-stein’s crew; lack of cell-phone towers and painful to wear. So, which is it? Neither. He wants to evade justice and has tested the ability to avoid monitoring. I suggest they re-fit him with a device that cannot be de-activated like the current one…. and pay any cost to do so, for the sake of the victims who wish to see justice served.
I think you can narrow down the risk from just one paragraph:
“The 67-year-old producer left part of his electronic ankle monitor at home in Bedford, New York, rendering it inactive on at least 57 occasions in less than two months, prosecutor Joan Illuzzi said at the hearing.”

Take his money and then send him to Leavenworth where he belongs.
