> The European Central Bank chairwoman is a felon convicted for massive government payouts.

Why do people feel the need to deliberately mislead by leaving out all the important details? I had no idea what you were talking about, so I looked it up, it's the second item under https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Lagarde#Controvers....

Regardless of your opinions on that particular court case, or the fact that the letter of your statement may be true, do you honestly think "The European Central Bank chairwoman is a felon convicted for massive government payouts" would give the average reader an accurate view of what happen? Because after reading what actually happened, and which IMO comes nowhere near to the deliberate malfeasance you imply, I just conclude that, to put it colloquially, "You're full of shit."

absolutely. Your wikipedia link is absolutely clear :

"the court found Lagarde guilty of negligence"

So, she is a convicted felon for conveniently looking the other way. Some of course may question whether the 400M euro is "massive" these days...

I am also very curious about what exactly is the discrepency here? Which specific part of the original statement is incorrect?

P.s. "My currency is signed by my own private key, yours - by a convicted felon". Whom would you trust more?

P.S. Also, how come you can use such language ("You're full of shit.") and not be banned? Could a moderator take a stance on this one? I don't see the flag button for some reason.
