Not the kind of CEO we want, baity headline
this article here - https://abc7chicago.com/post/crestwood-murder-court-records-reveal-josif-sucleas-alleged-back-pay-plot-atg-truckload-ceo-dane-koteski/16040397/ - lists the reason was that his employees were being stiffed of their back-pay
That’s what a lawsuit is for, not a killing. I’m all for whipping out the guillotine, but it’s gotta be for something substantial.
Wage theft is the most common and least enforced property crime in America.
I doubt you have a statistic to back that up.
Regardless, this person didn’t kill them for the greater good, or to make a political and social statement. They killed them out of anger, and it did nothing for the greater good. This guy is not Luigi. He’s just a killer.
Not the OP, but this fact is widely attested. The statistic is right on the Wikipedia page for wage theft. In 2012, the FBI estimated it to be more than $19 billion in total. The next-highest category of property crime was larceny, at $4.3 billion.
Fair enough. Still, the “CEO” of a small trucking company shouldn’t be killed for wage theft. Cut his hand off.
