I suppose I recommend people think something like “ok, how bad was this really” when they look at billionaire crimes.
And also billionaire acquittals! Convictions just don’t correlate that well with commonsense morality, in both directions.
This project has honestly made me kind of nihilistic regarding interpreting white-collar crime; it seems like you often need to spend a very substantial amount of time digging into the details to actually understand how you should update on someone’s behavior. (I found this book helpful, for those interested in reading more.)
