      The problem here is that the influential people have secretaries or butlers that simply screen such calls. If representatives or senators would get bombed with unfiltered spam calls like normal people, those spammers would work in chain gangs until they drop dead.

      If your crime is financial in nature and widespread you dont go to jail.
