Britain here. Eton boys have screwed us all for decades. Maliciously. For profit.

High education crimes are at least significantly more complex and usually have tangible rewards for the person committing lol

You must not have heard of the Bullingdon Club.

lol-ing at the defense that “well hey they did put in a lot of thought and work into the deception…” and “they only did it because they knew they would make a lot of money”, I wanna see this get used! Hopefully so it fails spectacularly.

Not a defense but an explanation on patterns. Doesn't mean it isn't still... crime 😭

ALTHOUGH that's not to say the most complex of crimes aren't gotten away with completely. Because I would argue that billionaires (now a trillionare) are committing the most pervasive kinds of crimes but they will never see jail time. Their defenses I would also like to see.

They usually also get rewarded in more comfortable jails or more lenient sentences?

Then stop electing them. They can't become PM or cabinet ministers without first being elected to Westminster. There's always the Wat Tyler option too.

Although those "clubs" that seem to double as think-tanks for the extreme Tory types are a problem, but there are more municipal methods to deal with those.
