When asked to clarify whether she had contacted local law enforcement about the alleged voicemail threat, Wu told Ars that she had—“and the FBI,” she said. “It’s radio silence from them. There’s a longer story here about my frustration with working with law enforcement. I’m trying to get anyone to bring a case to trial. I have had dozens upon dozens of meetings, phone calls, and visits from multiple law enforcement agencies—including the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, federal prosecutors, state prosecutors, Congress, and local police.”

And still: No arrests, no prosecution, no trial…no nothing.

This is a much more dangerous and wider spread problem that goes way beyond a few negligible law enforcement agencies. The same philosophy that keeps the powers that be at Twitter from banning CCJ is alive and well through large swaths of the country it seems, from the Federal Government on down.

Welcome to the new Misogynist States of America.

The problem seems to be that these prosecutors and cops are either unbelievably lazy or they approve of the death threats. Either way, that’s just depressing as hell.

unsurprising. I had dealings with Portfolio Recovery years ago in which they attempted to “forgive” me of debt, through a 1099 form that the IRS dutifully processed, leading to me getting a bill from Uncle Sam for income I hadn’t paid tax on. It took me 3 months to clear that up, and while I was doing so, I laid out the groundwork for a lawsuit that even the most incompetent lawyer could follow, and which would have garnered millions of dollars in fines and recovered taxes from Portfolio, for their fraudulent 1099 “forgiven debt” scam. And it isn’t like Portfolio hasn’t been sued successfully by multiple entities, leading to judgements and fines. The result? Crickets.
