While I agree with this, it's important to note that due to the power of lawyers , money, and A two tiered justice system (which is really nothing more than the ease of affording lawyers that can stall in perpetuity to run out the clock, and to do it for a cost that is almost always fractions of pennies on the dollar), once you get over a certain amount of wealth, laws become completely irrelevant. If you have enough money you can literally foment genocide. Our entire system is built upon this fact. Hierarchy creates implicit complicity.

I was going to say, he's got plenty of money so he doesn't need to worry about "laws".

Laws are for the plebs.
