Salamone tried to keep the lion’s share for himself and undid them all by recording the conversations. Conspiracies sure would be a lot more popular if everyone involved wasn’t a scumbag.

I like what Robert Anton Wilson had to say about conspiracies and their life cycles:

“[A]s far as I’ve been able to discover in all my years of being involved, more or less unwillingly, in this field, I cannot find any proof of any conspiracy that really existed, was really brought into court and convicted, that lasted more than ten years before everybody double-crossed everybody else and the conspiracy fell apart.”

In fairness, there has to be some survivorship bias here: if the members of a conspiracy don’t double-cross each other and are competent enough not to expose themselves, it’s a lot less likely they’d ever get brought into court in the first place.

Agreed, and I suppose it’s the ones we don’t hear about that are the real bad ones.

165 years for white collar crime, no fucking chance

They only made $322k, that’s nothing.

What did the Enron guys get?

They didnt make enough money to receive a lesser sentence.

They’re probably not rich.

HEY! You stole money from the people who have lots of money! THAT’S MORE ILLEGAL THAN ALL THE OTHER STUFF!

I like the part where it’s like a zillion times more illegal than trying to overthrow democracy. The USA “justice system” is a joke.

Most of the January 6th people seemed to get appropriate sentences for their involvement.
