Three questions #Alibaba doesn’t want #investors to ask🤔
"past disputes with stakeholders around #corporategovernance and #scandals at Alibaba’s 15-year-old business may prove worrisome for some.. Yahoo & other major Alibaba stakeholders complained that they were kept in the dark about the #spinoff of #Alipay into an entity controlled by Ma until months after the deal was done. This occurred even though Yahoo officials at the time held a seat on Alibaba’s #board"🤦‍♂️

Under embarassing #Federal judicial oversight due to rampant police misconduct uncovered in a horrendous 2003 #scandal, Oakland #California police were due to emerge renewed 5 years later after a period of reforms ...this apparently
did not happen, and federal #oversight continued.

A "monitor" was appointed back then (who lately hasn't even visited the #Oakland #Police department in over 5 years), and since then, many mayors, and an ever rotating cast of nearly a dozen ousted dept chiefs and add'l #interim administrative overlords came through city, while budget cuts severely impact staffing and compliance during constant #crime waves.

Unfortunately sad and disturbing #lawenforcenent #scandals kept coming over past decades, and in 2025 many citizen observors wonder how, when or even "if" the #OPD agency can ever emerge on its own ?

First link is look at how we got here, and second provides peak at the moving #CopWatch targets set by #regulators and where efforts to comply still stand...

"All of this comes amid the worst #scandals in the court’s #history, which raise serious doubt about the justices’ independence & #integrity (e.g. Samuel #Alito 's #insurrectionist flag flying, #ClarenceThomas' refusal to #recuse himself despite his wife’s participation in the #coup attempt, Thomas’s multiple #financial disclosure violations & receipts of millions of dollars in #gifts). These, coupled with obvious gamesmanship to benefit “their side,” will permanently besmirch this court."
