From a Dem POV, Fried is the perfect Dem.
He checks ALL of the boxes. If ribbons were a thing these days, Fried would have all of them: he regularly talked about being a vegan, donating millions and billions to charity, was seen as the "next business wunderkind", etc.
Long story short, he FELT correctly about all of the right things. Now, it doesn't make any difference if he was genuine, candid, or had any integrity, it was only important to tell everyone and virtue signal.
Who cares if he appears to have regularly used his clients money illegally and immorally?
But the OP is correct, in time we'll see some of "the important people" ***** and scream about getting their money taken, which we won't see for 90% of them because the FBI/SEC investigation will only release enough information to get Fried convicted of the proper felonies. We'll NEVER see the whole report because it will make the "right" people look bad.
Hate is how progressives sustain themselves. Without hate, introspection begins to slip into the progressive's consciousness, threatening the progressive with the truth: that their ideas and opinions are illogical, hypocritical, dangerous, and asinine.
This is backed by data.
