    That kind of is the threat? The dumb thing is the worker on the phone shouldn’t feel threatened because (s)he isn’t a stinking rich CEO.

      But that scenario definitely does not meet the legal definition of a threat. It’s just a statement of opinion based on current events - she did not threaten anyone necessarily

        I should have clarified - that’s the threat that those prosecuting her are referring to. It is a threat by any contextual interpretation, but it’s indeed harmless in comparison to other things that people get away with without consequences all the time. For example murderers in uniform.
