      Yes. An exception would seem to be Bernie Madoff. But it wasn’t the amount of money.

      He had to be punished because he ripped off other rich people.

          What? No. Or at least, “not quite” depending on how you meant that.

          Wealthy people are given the same passes as politicians. Both are treated better than the rest of us. The criminal justice system exists almost exclusively to punish the second category.

        You literally ended your comment with “only if you’re in politics.”

        Relax, though. We’re all on the same side here. I upvoted your original post. I just wanted it to be clear that wealthy people are also immune. They are also often rewarded for their misdeeds after they hire a PR team to spin things.
