What I've noticed from observing people in all classes is that money is an amplifier. Lazy rich people who are dumb are more likely to lose their wealth than smart rich people that are hardworking.
I do agree that the game is still heavily skewed in their favor, but that doesn't mean they can get away as easily as their more virtuous counterparts.

Despite his bankruptcies, there are still people willing to do business with him, invest in his projects, etc. At the moment he's probably mostly propped up by Russian money, but those Russians would not do that for just any bum on the streets.

- mcv 6y agoNot so. Most people lose money on it. He has a knack for sticking other people with the bill for his bankruptcies while he gets his money out in time. The only bank that still wants to do business with him is the Deutsche Bank, and a lot of people suspect there might be some sort of money laundering or other questionable transactions going on.
