White collar crime is down ~26% in the last 5 years: https://trac.syr.edu/tracreports/bulletins/white_collar_crime/monthlyjan23/fil/ https://trac.syr.edu/tracreports/bulletins/white_collar_crim... Do you think it’s because it’s more of a hassle to go after people who can afford lawyers or because white collar crime is actually down? I think it’s the former.

Is white collar crime down or are prosecutions of white collar crime down? How can you tell the difference? I find it hard to believe that in the age of NFTs and dogecoin and whatever crypto bullshit that white collar crimes are down.

The question was about people who are caught committing crimes like Holmes and SBF. I was asking why the parent commenter believes that they would be caught, charged, but then never face consequences. How often are we seeing blatant public crimes by wealthy people (like Holmes, SBF, Epstein, etc) get shrugged off the by system? The parent comment implies that rich people can do crimes in public, get caught, then not suffer the consequences. I’m asking where this belief comes from, because it’s weirdly prevalent on HN, Twitter, Reddit, and other social medias despite not reflecting the realities.
