had been ordered to attend the hearing but did not appear

We all tend to misunderstand law and how it's applied. To be fair, the judge is waiting to see how the feds pursue this. That's a normal thing, especially in a landmark case like this.

But a court ordered no-show seems a cut and dried arrest warrant.

For real, the instant the courts are intimidated by the wealth of an individual, we know that that’s a level of wealth that should be made effectively unattainable.

But nah, that’s unprofitable. So we must be satisfied with modern day feudalism.
