"Billionaire" and "fraud" go together like "sky" and "blue".

He'll be nominated for Secretary of the Treasury soon

So 20 min community service? That's the standard now.

Forcing people convicted of financial crimes to do community service is a great idea. But like months or years of it. Maybe they'd learn something.

Sounds like a good way to get the minimum wage to be $50,000 an hour

I don't see the problem here

Almost like the only way to get that much money isn’t by working hard but by cheating others out of it. Man if only we had a machine to take care of things like this. I know the French do

There are no good billionaires.

Adani and the other defendants allegedly paid more than $250 million in bribes to Indian government officials to obtain “lucrative solar energy supply contracts with the Indian government.”

Bruh they did this in Pakistan a decade ago and it was probably the smaller of the crimes committed by the political mafia lol (of which practically no one served any meaningful time in jail).

Modi isn't going to like this. India-China rapprochement probably incoming.
