22. Will this open the door for more lawsuits?
Thu Apr 26, 2018, 07:11 PM
Apr 2018

Now would be the time to come forward. They all had basically the same story of how he drugged and overpowered them and raped them. One victory for these women who were so terribly abused, and who have to live with the humiliation and memory for the rest of their lives - is not enough. He should be charged and convicted on each and every one of his abuses.

Karmically - oh boy. If you believe in an afterlife and reincarnation - taking away someone's power, choice, "mindfuck" are very serious choices to make in a lifetime and karma WILL balance the damage. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes when he has to face his spiritual counsel when he crosses over, or his higher power. To take the life he had and cause such pain and suffering to others when he had the opportunity to do such good, well it really pretty much cancels out any good he did accomplish.

I would imagine he is going to try to do anything he can to keep himself out of prison. He probably hopes that he can stay out for the rest of his life, since he is 80. This is why I hope that there are other lawsuits coming so that he HAS to face his punishment. He should also be sued by every female he intentionally harmed. 80 in numerology is an "8" which is abundance OR lessons in abundance/lack of abundance. It is also the number of balance (turn the number upside down and it is still an 8), and 2018 is an 11 year, and 11 is a "master lessons" number, kind of like having the opportunity to either spiritually get your PHd, or drop out and fail. Numerology-speaking, I have a feeling this is far from the end of his problems and 2018 may be an even tougher year for him than it already has been. He has probably worked very hard to hide as much of his fortune as he can, knowing that he will be sued and will have to pay. I hope the lawsuits will delve into his finances before he makes everything disappear.
