      I’m all for holding robber barons accountable, but not a fan of state sanctioned murder.

        Agreed. Not a fan either, but I’m also not a fan of authoritarian states with draconian capital punishment.

        Besides, screw banks.

        Yeah I’m in the same boat. I’d rather see the assets redistributed, probably some jail time, and then strict limits and oversight on property and possessions that effectively prohibit hoarding more wealth than one could need for a comfortable living.

    Is there actually a way someone gets $12.5B that’s not fraud in some fashion?

      The article says it was her and accomplices running proxy companies, so it wasn’t just one person getting $12.5b.

      Stick a real credit card in one of these bad boys (if image doesn’t load it’s one of those toy monopoly credit card things)
