Yes but it is nearly impossible to amass that kind of wealth without corruption and fraud to begin with. Thats why they investigated him. They have a lot of their own problems. Many of which america has too, but thats neither here nor there.
I still think it was a really based way of handling what that parasite did and i think we should investigate and charge every billionaire.
Maybe not capital punishment. Maybe just socialize their wealth and make them a pariah, but they have to go. Our planet literally cant sustain them. Even monkeys know how to take care of a resource thief. I understand the execution, though i dont believe capital punishment should exist to that degree.
I'm quite a fan of the idea that pasing 10mil income/net worth awards them with a "congratulations you won, you have enough to live on for the rest of your life while still leaving money for your kids. Everything you make past this point goes towards hospitals, schools and the country's infrastructure." Certificate and a plaque that goes on everything they've funded.
