I don't know anything about Wesley LePatner. Maybe she was the only innocent person at Blackstone and spent her whole day collecting a paycheck while scrolling Instagram. But if she really did embody the best of Blackstone, then frankly, she got what was coming to her. That company has been responsible for the immiseration and impoverishment of millions.
