Seriously? It's a dog based insult and Jeff makes corpse jokes and stuff all the time in the strip but an obvious nameplay is forbidden?

Global Moderator Comment It turns out to be rude. This place tries to be inclusive. That includes courtesy.

Of course, if CW had a bit more intelligence, she'd realise that the likes of May visiting could help legitimise her business.
"An illegal fight club? Why officer, I don't know what you mean. All we have here is a facility to help disadvantaged AIs get the chassis repair they need but can't afford."
Acting as a charity group would allow here to garner sympathy from other AI and supporters of AI rights, especially with stories like May. As well as that, she could hide her fighters among the AIs getting repaired.
Instead, CW is looking at the start of an extremely long stay in Robot Jail precisely because she's messing around with her employees without seeing the bigger picture.

First of all, I agree that money isn't really the problem here - if Faye didn't start spending a whole lot of money in the meantime. I don't think she did; even though Claire seems to be almost living with Marten, she didn't move into her own apartment; she makes more money while also being in better health, so she may not spend a lot of money on theraphy/other doctors.
Corpse Witch probably didn't appreciate not being informed - there's a lot of things they don't talk about, here. Is this a precedent? Does Corpse Witch help out other AIs? How many people actually know that the robot fighting ring exists and who's allowed in there? It's not unreasonable to assume (and May clearly does) that ex-cons have some surveillance tech installed, especially if it's a government-provided chassis.
How much do the fighters pay, or do they pay at all? And she did give Faye a warning, and a deduction from her pay that probably wasn't all that much, instead of straight-up firing her. She is also appreciative of good employees (she did give Faye some extra pay when she felt she was doing a good job, and while she tried to get Bubbles to not hang out with meatbags that much, she did it by assuring her she was always welcome at her "place", and she lets Faye work how she wants to as long as it's effective - drawing dicks on punchbot's face isn't really standard procedure).
CW is a jerk and manipulative, but in my books, she's still a better employer than Dora (not that the bar here is particularly high).
Xader:
Would have been smarter to say that May was acting as a guinea pig for some on-the-job training in dermal replacement.

Example interchange in that scenario:
OFFICER: "And why are those AIs there fighting miss WITCH"
CW: "They're heavy duty chassis and they're testing the resistance of the fixes"
OFFICER: "And the bets placed..."
CW: "You know people, they'll bet for which drop of rain will hit the ground first if they put money in it and find a way to measure it"
ANOTHER OFFICER: "Five bucks for the one with dicks in his face!"
OFFICER: "Goddammit Jane, you're not helping"
