Yeah, sure buddy. We're going to put a billionaire in prison. Uh huh.

Now, I am super curious. How many billionaires are in prison? There's Sam Bankman-Fried, who I read still has money stashed away in places nobody knows about. Anyone else?

Bernie Madoff was before he died in prison. You basically have to run a scam on other wealthy people to go to prison as a billionaire.

Isn't that sort of what they have going in Russia? It's fine to scam people and accept bribes, as long as you pay the right people and *don't* scam the right people (usually superiors or other wealthy people's proteges).

I was in prison with this guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirav_Modi

He's not looking as good as he looks in the pics btw, but I can confirm he has it very well.

Sam Bankman made a big mistake of stealing not only from the street but also from the wall street.

Everybody knows that if you steal from a common man, nothing will happen. But you just have to not be an idiot. It's a tiered justice system.

Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi would have also been billionaires before their countries received freedom and democracy.

Shkreli did a few years in prison

I’ve never looked into it but I suspect it was not the same type of prison the not-billionaires would go to

Google's AI

"I'm sorry, in order to protect the privacy of the only people that matter to me, I can't answer that question. Have you tried putting glue on your pizza yet?"

Joe Nacchio was worth $1.2B and went to jail because he wouldn't let the NSA have full control of his phone network

I mean, if one of them tried to build a nuke, then probably

This is uber virtue signaling to his base who all think being anti-AI is a semi-religious imperative
