Harvey Weinstein

To be given a way out by the industry, businesses, board, and company that enabled, protected, covered up behavior that if committed by a regular or anyone else would result in serious legal, employment, or criminal consequences but because of the sheer power of influence and connections in a industry, locality, and political world. Would make such event unlikely unless a preponderance of publicity eventually brings this to the light of day.

Still he was offered to be cashed out of his own firm before he declined and then fired by his own board(who were acting to protect the company ahead of the New York Times and New Yorker Magazine publishing stories on the company's involvement on paying out 8+ sexual harassment suits and countless other allegations). Still hubris and arrogance was a dominant trait in this downfall of a titan. Still not a watershed moment anywhere. Abuse of power, sexual harassment, political intimidation, and Donald Trump will still be around for years to come.
