[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no conspiracy here and no special Maret connection, other than that through no fault of their own they are facing a seriously questionable HOS tenure under a very heavy threat of reputational damage. IMO, it’s almost guaranteed to end badly if the selection proceeds, as more of this scandal and who did what gets under the magnifying glass of scrutiny by the bankruptcy lawyers, judges, journalists and ordinary people.

What you’re seeing on this board is well justified outrage over what happened and over the implicated people not only not getting their comeuppance but getting rewarded — whether through a coveted job for which there are excellent untarnished (women) candidates or through a college spot secured through a seriously padded resume or through getting repaid ahead of the legitimate creditors.

That outrage and interest is not shocking or fake. What’s shocking is constantly screaming against it through insults and misplaced moral outrage. It would be like saying people commenting on the Operation Varsity Blues should be silent and the FBI were unfair to the poor parents trying to do the best for their kids. It’s plain wrong and immoral and quite likely illegal (from consumer protection onwards).

I suspect the dcumers defending this behavior here are 1 or very few. Bisgaard’s tweet aiming to silence people had 1 taker only too. What happened at and around Whittle is indefensible.

Don’t be fooled - this thread seems to have really struck the nerve and now I’d like to see the Whittle scandal get unpacked more, particularly around the DC people who were in Chris Whittle’s inner circle.

I blame the parents. Sending your kid to a new school run by Whittle shows a serious lack of judgment. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. [/quote]
