Make it so he can’t go to France
Could he be extradited? I mean… he won’t because money but…
Ignoring summons while regular users get banned for way less just makes the whole platform feel unserious
A soon to be trillionaire, like him believes, he’s above the law, and does not need to answer to any authority. An example needs to be made of him.
he’s clearly not used to a government that he can’t leach from, and one that might actually do some legal enforcement
Throw the book at him
He is about to find out that you can’t just ban a French judge’s account and expect the legal problem to magically go away.
He’s about to learn there are consequences in other countries.
Too bad the US won’t extradite.
