white collar crime is as old as civilization - how do you think kings and nobles got their positions back then?

I don't think we can compare feudalism with financial crime.

One was the system of governance for millennia, the other was enabled by the naivety of a failed ruling class who handed the power of states to the fraudsters of global finance.

Everyone understood (at a local level) how feudalism worked, I doubt many people could tell you what Wirecard were doing.

Feudalism only had about a 600 year run.
