The DailyMail published his photo, and also, even better, doesn't have a paywall:

The NYT wouldn't have hesitated to publish Tyrese's photo had he been white and Fahim had been black. Probably their respective races would have even been mentioned in the headline.


You’re being downvoted because this is unhelpful speculation which adds nothing to the discussion - be it true or untrue. If the response to what you say is “OK...”, what you have said is not terribly interesting.


how do you downvote on here?



You need 400 or 500 karma/points before the downvote button shows up.


You need to have a certain amount of karma before it appears


Which makes sense. Black people have historically been and currently are scapegoats for a lot of crimes they did not commit. Kinda makes sense to give them more leeway.


So have the Irish, Chinese, and Italians. What does the crimes of others of the same race have to do with it?



Pretty poor analogy, since rather than just being slow to "catch up" to the fraud, the German government actively abetted it by jailing a short seller and halting any short selling of Wirecard.

Additionally, Madoff's fraud was of a private investment fund only open to higher networth SEC-accredited investors (who presumably need less protection), whereas Wirecard was publicly traded on a major exchange, where anyone could buy shares of it.
