Identity thieves who targeted people with mental disabilities, people who stole from charities that fed hungry children, corrupt officials who stole public funds to purchase race horses, a doctor who per the DOJ "directly contributed to the opioid epidemic" by acting as a pill mill.

Just a list of some of the most heinous things a person could do.

My mom took out credit cards in my name and is still on the run 10 years later. I hired a private investigator to find her at one point.

Holy fuck I hate Biden. If we are going to dismiss white collar crimes just drop the veil of a justice system that works. Those legal system fuckers are rent seeking just like the UHC CEO.

Don't forget judges being paid to send children to for profit juvenile prisons

Oh yeah, those are the first ones that I'd heard about, but I kind of just assumed it was a big group of randos that happened to include one ultrademon, and it turns out that they just commuted the sentences of the top 0.1% of most evil people in prison.

I was shocked that so many of the crimes were that evil.
