So 20 min community service? That’s the standard now.

Forcing people convicted of financial crimes to do community service is a great idea. But like months or years of it. Maybe they’d learn something.

jewbacca117@lemmy.world on 20 Nov 21:45 collapse

Enough community service hours to cover the amount the stole. Paid at minimum wage, of course.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world on 20 Nov 21:49 collapse

Sounds like a good way to get the minimum wage to be $50,000 an hour

I don't see the problem here

“Billionaire” and “fraud” go together like “sky” and “blue”.

He’ll be nominated for Secretary of the Treasury soon

What kind of world are we living in where a guy can’t cheat and extort his way to unimaginable riches and amass enough wealth to capture governments , Can’t live freely without persecution?

His one flaw is he forgot to be white.

Ladies and gentlemen, we Gautam

There are no good billionaires.

Altomes@lemm.ee on 20 Nov 23:30 next collapse

Almost like the only way to get that much money isn’t by working hard but by cheating others out of it. Man if only we had a machine to take care of things like this. I know the French do

Modi isn’t going to like this. India-China rapprochement probably incoming.

Adani and the other defendants allegedly paid more than $250 million in bribes to Indian government officials to obtain “lucrative solar energy supply contracts with the Indian government.”

Bruh they did this in Pakistan a decade ago and it was probably the smaller of the crimes committed by the political mafia lol (of which practically no one served any meaningful time in jail).
