What happens to the “experts” when they are wrong?

They become pundits making mid 6-figures on TV and go on the lecture circuit making 5-figures per speech. Not a bad life for someone who doesn't need to be right.. ever.

In this case, I think they would all love to be wrong. If they are right, many of them will end up in jail, or dead.
