> Being rich hardly means favoritism in the sense of avoiding justice.

Which Earth are you living on? The only time rich people face justice is when they screw over other rich people.

hmm what about the fyre festival guy. all his victims were average people who paid for a non-existent festival, not rich ppl

or those NFT scammers, whose victims are average people (average loss in the low thousands) ,not super rich people

Meanwhile, the Threnos fraud was allowed to run for 8 years, ripping off rich people undeterred, while the NFT scammers were arrested just months after pulling off the fraud. Same for Madoff..that lasted 2 decades, again, ripping off rich people despite repeated warnings to the SEC.
