i think if there is an argument for capital punishment it’s to be used against people like this. the old argument for it being used in the case of murderers and such is that they’re “too dangerous to be left alive.”

i find the likelihood of a corrupt billionaire in a position of power being able to bribe or utilize his connections for escaping or doing more damage to the people from behind bars much much higher than a murderer busting out of maximum security. there is also much less likelihood for reform. these people don’t change because they don’t have to.

there’s just not a good way to ensure he’d remain penniless and in jail for the rest of his life without taking a huge risk.
