re: DSK - perhaps it will have this kind of happy ending
An ironically amusing sequence of events that happened in my industry:

1) Bloke works for the industry regulator as head of security.
2) Bloke resigns. Soon afterwards, said Bloke is the star of a BBC documentary claiming corruption is widespread and the regulator is turning a blind eye.
3) It is implied that he left due to frustration and a desire to blow the whistle.
4) Unfortunately for him, in the excitement of his crusade Bloke seems to have forgotten the real reason for his departure.
5) His former employer goes public and discloses that he was forced out for being the office lech.

It's a happy ending but also a sad one, because if he hadn't been so desperate for attention then his public reputation would have been unsullied. I've often wondered how many other Blokes are getting away with this kind of shit.

Yeah it makes you wonder huh- especially with things like this journalist who has come out saying DSK tried to assault her years ago, but she didn't report it because her mother didn't want to damage his reputation or their family friendship or whatever. Because that is more important than defending your daughter's right to bodily autonomy, or something. It's sad thinking about the things which people who are powerful and well- connected can get away with.
