Remember the case of the German engineer who was arrested in Florida while trying to return home after his vacation?

...who was complicit in a billion dollar fraud in the US. How is that comparable, exactly?


Because those siblings are believed to be complicit in a billion dollar fraud.


Hardly works as a counterpoint, because doesn't satisfy what the original commenter said: "Despite your attempts to dress them up as being somehow "legally culpable" they have been charged with no crimes despite being detained for more than a year."


wouldn't an equivalent counterpoint then be to ship them to Guantanamo?


and waterboard them there while saying publicly you remain committed to human rights -> despite never charging them?


Yeah that 19 year old Georgetown undergrad was definitely complicit in a billion dollar fraud that happened when he was 10.


Are they charged with a crime?

The answer is no. They have not been charged with any crimes.


So the siblings did it!

You nailed the jackpot

/s


You mean the one who was charged with an actual crime and had a fair trial and due process of law?
