He gave fake addresses and hid on remote islands, just like he did for Covid. He is still a board member for the American company Alphabet. He stepped down in 2019.
How is that remotely mildly infuriating? That is just regular infuriating. Start riots and pull out guillotines infuriating.

Every oligarch is a pedophile until proven otherwise.
And even then, any supposed evidence of their innocence should be suspect.
Really, it’s just must be easier to assume that they are all pedophiles.

If they sit down at the table with them, or allowed them to sit there, they are one.

Does it even matter if they’re pedophiles?
Being an oligarchs is magnitudes larger of a crime.

Yes, it does.
For starters, it matters because their crimes have victims. So saying those crimes don’t matter means those victims don’t matter.
Additionally, it’s incredibly helpful for public framing and understanding, especially for the people who aren’t inclined to hold their immense wealth against them.

If we just kill them all to be safe that would be best. The overall impact on the world population would be insignificant

Anyone who had wealth, or had access to wealth equal to $50 million or more since the 1980s should be thoroughly investigated, period, and if connections are found, any and all wealth confiscated, and used for foundations and programmes supporting victims of child/sex trafficking, exploited women, women's health research, and so on.
