Also ask Alex Acosta why he didn't consult Epstein's victims before agreeing to that sweetheart plea deal with the pedophile
Much like Todd Blanche just did when he spoke with Ghislaine Maxwell without consulting the victims, either

And ask Acosta why he just got a streaming deal with Trump media and a job on the board at Newsmax just three months ago.
Why did Epstein get a “sweetheart deal” from US Attorney Alex Acosta, who later became Trump’s Secretary of Labor during the first administration?
Acosta is still alive, folks.
Maybe we should ask him.

The WNBA has existed for 29 years. We are told it has never made money.
The league lost $10 million annually in early years, escalating to $40–50 million in recent years. Or so they say.

Corruption is embedded in all our institutions.
Experts Nola Agha and David Berri suggest the WNBA may use accounting practices and tax loopholes to declare losses even when cash-flow positive or when asset values increase. This can serve two purposes:

The WNBA’s financial opacity is a significant issue. The WNBA rarely shares detailed financial data publicly, often relying on statements from NBA or WNBA officials. Union president Nneka Ogwumike has emphasized the need for transparency and that players lack access to financial records. #Corruption

Lack of financial transparency fuels suspicion. For instance, Reddit users have called for the WNBA to “open the books” to verify losses, arguing that the league’s financial narrative doesn’t align with its growth metrics or franchise valuations. #Corruption #BlackHole
