- mikestew 2y agoIn the context of GP's quoting, you'd be a convicted felon, sure. But you'd also be a billionaire, and which point I'd not be terribly concerned about "stigma".
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y agoMy understanding that being a convicted felon is terrible because it can make it difficult to ever secure a decent job. Does she ever need to work again?
- ryandrake 2y agoBingo. For as little as, say, $10 million, you wouldn’t even have to work again or voluntarily interact with other humans. So who cares if you can’t get a job due to “stigma”? I’d sit in my living room collecting my monthly interest checks, not giving a single shit about what anyone, including employers, thought about me. Enough money insulates you from ever having to care about what anyone thinks of you.
- rqtwteye 2y agoHaving a billion will override any stigma of a convicted felon. Throw a few million at charity and you will be a celebrated and respected member of society. You will get more respect than most people who work a regular job without breaking laws.

- rqtwteye 2y agoThat’s who came to mind when I wrote the comment.
- balls187 2y agoI suppose that's the same mindset that governs people who are fine with getting tickets driving in HOV lanes.
