well, no, let's think about this.

let's say jeff bezos kills somebody. maybe his ex-wife. i'm just thinking out loud. nowadays, he'll go to jail for a few years, cost society a lot of resources while he's in there and get his money back when he comes out. it might even be worth it, if he can cut a deal for good behaviour.

now, let's say we take away 95% of his wealth, instead, and give it to the family of the victim. no jail time - just bankruptcy.

in which system do the rich get away with murder?
