They’re the ones the police don’t fuck with.
Do you live in the US? It’s pretty trivial to figure out who is and isn’t allowed to drive around with large sums of money, or carry a loaded weapon, as an actual practical matter.

It’s a dark vision of the world but there are many in the in-group who seek to preserve it.
