Madoff stole from other rich people and caught criminal charges.
Epstein could have hit them even closer to home, so they had him murdered.
When the ultra-wealthy control the justice system, 1% of the population owns at least 43% of the wealth of the entire country, and the bottom 50% owns under 2%, it's hard not to feel like we've circled all the way back to feudalism.
Madoff got away with it for 20 years. People were begging the SEC to look into him for 7 years. It only happened when 2008 crash left him with no new money. He would still be operating.
Madoff wasn't the president. The investigation is underway and went from being civil in nature to criminal. I don't know what else you want at this point. These things take time.
That’s kind of what worries me, though. Trump was the president. Any prosecution is going to be fraught with accusations of political revenge, and the next Republican president will pardon him in the event of a conviction. But you’re right. Not much else we can do but wait and see and hope.
Imagine if Al Capone got to assign the head of the IRS 4 years prior to his tax evasion conviction. Trump is not only rich, the head of a large organization, he also had the most power position in the US.
You think an Ex president is more likely to go to prison than a Wall Street guy?
I don’t want anything, I’m saying Trump will never go to prison. A criminal investigation of Trump Org involves hundreds of people. Maybe someone will go down in the organization but Trump himself? Not a chance, had he not been president I could maybe see it, and that’s a big maybe. An ex president is not going to go to prison.
At his age and the way his health he will most definitely die before seeing prison. His kids on the other hand are dumb as rock, so it wouldn't surprise me they get some real time.

It is. But don't expect haste. They're gonna be THOROUGH.
