If you want to hang around with intelligent people, why work for Big Tech from 9 to 5 when you can just go to jail and meet all the best and brightest?

> Few years of 24/7 prison or 30+ years of 9-5 prison?

I have friends who work in the prison system (educational/reform domain).

These comments from people casually comparing prison to their jobs are so out of touch it’s unbelievable. Even in the best of circumstances, losing a decade of your life to prison is devastating.

If you could just mind your own business and do your time while in prison this would seem plausible but from what I understand, once you're in there you have a good chance of getting charged with further crimes that you end up involved in. Maybe not so much as a female.

On the plus side, you can probably save a lot of money on rent.

White collar criminals usually have the proceeds seized by authorities.

Some of their fortunes. The Sacklers managed to stash billions away. And then have their company prosecuted and restructured instead of any personal liability. Pretty good gig, if you’re a sociopath.

Exactly.

Id love an example f a white collar criminal who stole $100M and the government pet them keep after conviction.

It depends on how much you hid with loyal friends, and how much you laundered.
