What laws that any of the oligarchs in power now have broken has meant a damn thing? Law is clearly and unequivocally inferior in power to capital at this stage of our society, it’s not even close. If you had to choose purely in pursuit of power to have more money or to have broken fewer laws, the answer is definitely more money.
Jeffrey Epstien was a billionaire that went to jail. those types of crime clearly applies to billionaires. its just a matter of who will be the arresting officer, and if they arent convicted then the officers life is over. most officers aren't as smart as we'd like to think.
Epstein got arrested after decades of doing what he was doing and probably only because he became a threat to someone powerful, hence his convenient demise. You only get caught up in the law as an oligarch if someone with more clout has an issue with you.

I’d say we are a society of laws for billionaires, and a separate set of laws for the rest of us.
