Nah he just illegally manipulated the stock price of a company he bought to the tune of billions of dollars.
Not like he got a voter registration in the mail with his name on it and filled it out and dropped it off while technically not being allowed to vote. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/27/pamela-moses-voting-rights-mistake-jail
So barring any major crimes they likely won't even need to warm up the wrist slappers, they'll just send the head of the SEC to lick his shoes.
Had he stolen some chips from Circle K then he'd already be in jail.
True and if he tried that while black he would probably be dead.
My local news had a SHOCKING report about some dude who stole $6k in sneakers. I was reading it thinking,"That's pennies compared to the Wall Street amoral fuckers who are ripping off the country." Yet it's common knowledge which criminal will end up with jail time.
Or get deported back to South Africa
Mo money, ~~mo~~ no punishments.
Guy who defrauds investors every day is mad that they want to investigate him for the fraud.
Such a little man.
To someone who's always lived above the law, he must feel so persecuted. To people who've always lived under the law, this feels just ever so faintly of justice.
I hope they decide to bring his ass back to court on all the alleged and proven fraud charges. It's funny how it's harassment for him, being asked to follow the law. What a total POS.
Straight out of the Trump playbook. Big surprise.
If they can send Martha Stewart to prison for some bullshit, surely they can send this idiot to prison.
Two problems with that hypothesis.
1: Millionaire vs Billionaire.
2: Woman vs Man.
Martha went on purpose for street cred, can't change my mind
It's funny because any of us mere peasants breaking the law would be harassed just the same if not more and encur a relatively much larger burden.
He's basically crying he doesn't have privilege with them anymore.
JAIL 👏 JAIL 👏
Too much faith in the general decency of people in our legal system.
