Reply #5: Greed is Good but Drugs are Bad [View All]

[Trillo]

If a drug dealer selling marijuana is caught, the typical punishment, in addition to jail, is confiscating their personal property and auctioning it off: at least that is what is threatened in the corporate media regarding potential punishments that I've read over the years.

Curiously, these CEOs seem to be leaving their jobs, sometimes paying fines back to the company itself, but they don't seem to be getting jail time, nor are their personal or the company's property grabbed and auctioned off to the highest bidder.

A wee bit of hypocrisy I'd say. There's certain hypocrisy regarding the reporting.

For marijuana dealers and or growers, huge threats of a life ruined. Trouble finding employment. Conviction of a crime. Social stigma.

For CEO criminals, maybe if they're caught the SEC will investigate and maybe slap them on the wrist and say bad person don't ever do that again and they'll have to leave the company to return to their mansion of loot.

Why not reverse the paradigm? Drugs are Good and Greed is Bad?
