You don't get to make $100 billion dollars and feign ignorance about how you got it and the damage you caused to obtain it.

Don't you? I can't think of any instance of justice truly being served to billionaires, can you?

SBF recently and Madoff before him.

Those are fair points, but I can't help but chuckle that they were brought to justice because they stole from millionaires and other billionaires to make their ill gotten gains. Probably woulda got away with it if they just stole from the poor and middle class.

Is that so for SBF? I genuinely have no idea.

Not quite as many as Madoff, but some notable folks and investors.
