You implied that the rich were getting a free ride and showed they weren't.

3 people is a nice start but the rule still stands.

How about rich people selling missile parts to dictatorships breaking arms sanctions?
Will that be enough?

No, not even close.
Pretty much anyone with a large amount of money has done something unethical to get it (or inherited it from someone who did something unethical).
Right now you're at 4 people who have been pulled up on it. 5 including this guy that's about to be extradited. This is not a societal trend you are highlighting, it's just the rare few that get some sort of comeuppance.

Well it's a good thing it's not my job to change your mind isn't it?

If you honestly think 5 people represent everyone who has ever done something unethical to make a profit then you are grossly underqualified.

Ah I see, sorry I though you were talking about people being extradited to the US from UK.
You appear to be talking about something different.
Sorry for being under qualified to have a conversation with you.

You were replying to the following comment:
"If everyone who did something they knew was unethical to make themselves money got this kind of attention then the world would be a very different place.
Seems to me that most of the rich people in the world have been unethical at one time or another. Pretty much a requisite for the job."
I guess you've been replying to a lot of different points in this thread so they might all be blending into one big thing for you, but this was point I was making and you haven't done a good job of refuting it.
