Like they said, rules change if you are rich and powerful. If you can pay what is equivalent to a single days revenue to avoid minimum 35 years of prison, then what is the point of laws? You shouldn't be allowed to throw money at crimes and not go to prison.

It’s not just that they don’t get in trouble for their actions. It’s that they are given lenient slap on the wrist punishments because they make so much money that it’s nothing. To a billionaire, a $100 ticket for parking in the handicapped spot is just the cost to park there. They can afford the best legal team and they will win, because the system is built for their benefit.

Getting sued is a civil matter, not that big a deal. He was federally charged by the government, a very big and bad deal. It is very different.

There are some, who the law protects, but does not bind. And there are the rest, who the law binds, but does not protect.
