Is this a real thing?Just wait for their ties to organized crime to come to light.

That's awful. Hope the family gets every penny the legal system can grant.
There is very little incentive to give the Canucks organization a single dollar.
It was on 1040
They're smart enough to let somebody else be the fall guy typically.Landlords typically meet the letter of the law as a practice. It would be surprising if this was not the case here. A big money guy wouldn't risk indemnity!
That’s not the point. The point is 1040 and 650 didn’t make it into a story. Simply mentioning it isn’t enough.
As an outside fan, I was planning on going to Vancouver for a game around New Year’s. Is the family/organization really so bad that I should reconsider that?
Talk to any contractor BEFORE the Aquilini fam even bought the team, and that was the rap.It was on 1040
Hot take by me but nobody actually cares about that Kraft guy busting his nut at a massage parlour.Because it has nothing to do with sports other than the fact it involves the owners who owns the Canucks. It's not like the Robert Kraft "story" where he we left a massage parlour happy just before the AFC Championship game.
1040 made it a story for days, Matt Sekeres and Blake Price ran a poll for a show and they tweeted about it several times and argued with people that said it wasn't a relevant topic. They also contacted the NHL for comment.That’s not the point. The point is 1040 and 650 didn’t make it into a story. Simply mentioning it isn’t enough.
I honestly do not understand you quoting meTalk to any contractor BEFORE the Aquilini fam even bought the team, and that was the rap.
I read your response as an implication that the story has gotten exposure and responded by saying it's almost common knowledge at this point, implying that I'm not sure what 1040/650 can do to apply pressure which isn't already there. Now that i think more about it, though, I think the media should be more interested in this.I honestly do not understand you quoting me
Oh is see, my response was about the media coverage for the not paying the workers and withholding water stuff, I don't know what play this story has got.I read your response as an implication that the story has gotten exposure and responded by saying it's almost common knowledge at this point, implying that I'm not sure what 1040/650 can do to apply pressure which isn't already there.

It would actually be better if the Aquilini's had been caught with their pants down in a massage parlour.Because it has nothing to do with sports other than the fact it involves the owners who owns the Canucks. It's not like the Robert Kraft "story" where he we left a massage parlour happy just before the AFC Championship game.
Thanks pal. Now I have to think of some way to get rid of that mental image out of my brain. ****Hit the Post go watches some clips on pornhub****It would actually be better if the Aquilini's had been caught with their pants down in a massage parlour.
I agree with this. There’s plenty to hate these guys for but this seems like stupidity by the parentsSurprised people are already so supportive of this with so little details. It's possible this was caused by a car hitting an electrical box and I'm not sure it's a landlord's responsibility to set up smoke detectors where this happened.
We get it, the Aquilinis aren't the best people and this is pretty sad, but that doesn't mean they're actually at fault here. Without more information this reeks of the overly litigious nature of the US legal system.

Well in Kraft's case he's being charged with soliciting prostitution at a massage parlour who is allegedly involved with sex trafficking. That's quite a bit different from trying to screw migrant workers to save a buck. I suppose it's because people expect corporations to screw you over and for billionaires to become richer and richer while the middle class disappears. That's hard to change. But if there is a chance to put a rich billionaire in jail for a sex offence?
Two children are dead. Please elaborate on these essential differences you are talking about.
What it says about society is another matter entirely but in the current Aquilini case there's multiple degrees of separation between the migrant family & the accident and the actual Aquilini family. This is the first I've heard of Kraft but if he was engaging in what is considered illegal prostitution then you have him linked directly to a crime.
It's kind of why the last Aquilini family news was so noteworthy, not just that migrant workers were being mistreated but that the family patriarch was literally right there himself denying the poor workers water until they finished an hours work.
That's the at the crux of the problem IMO -- the system permits these multiple degrees of separation in the first place. I am quite confident that if you start to hold the top end executives directly responsible for the bad acts committed while their business profits, the number of such bad acts committed under their watch would diminish exponentially.
The punishment doesn't even have to be jail time.... maybe make them forfeit all profits/income/revenue for a set period of time.
