Are you implying that being bankrupted is worse than going to prison?
- rhizome 9y agoIf that's the rubric, poor people should never be incarcerated.
- twblalock 9y agoI'd bet that many rich people would rather spend 4 years in prison than lose all of their assets, especially if the prison is one of those minimum-security summer camps the white collar criminals normally end up in.
