    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.
