Judge: Mr. Webster, you've stolen a few dollars each from thousands of Ameri--

Webster: Not just Americans, people from all over the world!

Judge: Well, ah, yes, and you've--

Webster: I'd say it's more like a few billion people, your Honor.

Judge: O..kay... you committed billions of acts of theft. And you're admitting it. To a judge.

Webster: Yup, but I only stole a few dollars from each person. They'll never miss the money!

Judge: It wasn't your money to steal.

Webster: Your Honor, I'm very rich, and if I can't keep stealing a few bucks from every human on earth I will be reduced to a nobody like... like... my employee Gus, or like you. My entire wealth model depends on continuing to steal from every person on earth all the time.

Judge: I see your point. Very well--

Eight Billion People in the gallery: Boo!

Judge: [bangs gavel] I'm ordering the laws changed so rich people like you can steal from everyone, and I'm ordering everyone over there to STFU and stop their whining.

Webster: Also I'm polluting everyone's water and destroying the climate.
