Its so much less cool than that.

Business leaders have finally gotten the legal oversight landscape set up so the cash register is being monitored by a blind baby that was dropped on its head, so they're all just lining up robbing the place.

The end-game plan seems to be to keep it up until things go all Mad Max, then hide in underground vaults until that blows over and start it again.
