      Let’s set the sentence for executing an innocent man to, death.

      The first barrier to the death penalty is to make sure verdicts are right 100% of the time.

      After that you can begin the debate about **whether it’s moral at all.

        There’s no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

          It’s true. America’s newest billionaire is ruthless boss of the Nashville underground, Taylor Swift, leader of the Swifties cartel.

            She didn’t get there by paying the employees of her business empire the share they deserve of the profits they generated for her. If she had, she wouldn’t be a billionaire.

            That doesn’t even touch on the issues of constant private jets around the world, owning multiple homes, etc.

              Shhhh. The Swifties can hear you. 🤫🤐 They’re always listening and ready to pounce.

        You can’t be certain 100% of the time, so one has to accept there will be instances of injustice.

        Or perserve it for instances where it is 100% certain only (video evidence, tons of eyewitnesses). I don’t care which personally, but latter is preferred.

        What I don’t want is a drawn out affair where it costs more to execute them than to keep them alive.

        When people deserve to die, they should be killed with haste, so we can forget they ever existed and move on. I’m not a fan of the slow torturous rot of keeping them alive until they die of natural causes part of the justice system we have come to embrace in western society.

        To be fair, I’m focused more on other crimes than the one this article is about. But anything that would end up being the rest of a person’s life, I’m okay with just ending prematurely. I’m morally flexible in this regard.

      I agree, but not for financial crimes.

      She’s essentially being executed for screwing over, you guessed it, investors.

      That’s fucked up. I’d rather execute the investors.

        It’s a bank not a hedge fund. The investors would be the regular people that made deposits- you know, the victims of the fraud. So your knee jerk reaction is “investors bad” without thinking about anything?
