- Bernie Madoff was worth $20bn and is in jail for 150 years
- Eike Batista was worth $30bn but was jailed for bribery
- Alfred Taubman was fined $7m and jailed for a year
- The Kwok brothers were worth $16bn but were jailed and fined for bribery
Etc etc. There's no point forming a worldview based on cherry picking. Nothing is simple. Politicians, billionares, or any other line you care to draw around people to define a group, are not homogenous. Some will be individually moral and upright, or guilt-ridden but greedy, or pyschopathic and power-hungry.
