I sort of implied the other thing in my comment. But.
There is no version of america that exists today where a billionaire gets sent to prison.
This is the moment in history where this shit is possible and accepted. If they don't do it now, they never can.
Didn’t Epstein get sent to prison?
Not exactly a billionaire.
Not initially, no.
SBF is a better example since he was actually sentenced and an actual billionaire (and did not get pardoned by Biden like the cynical "all politicians are equally corrupt" crowd on HN were adamant was a done deal, even though that theory never made any sense).
