You cannot become obscenely wealthy without committing fraud or taking advantage of workers.

Also likely that financial institutions like Deutsche Bank know about it and in some cases participate. Greed is God.
Thanks, Raygun.

(21,856 posts)7. I keep thinking of billionaire Rick Caruso, running for Los Angeles mayor....
(I am not implying that he has committed any fraud)
another billionaire real estate developer who was a republican then switched to democrat in January. running against Karen Bass.
Carusos political history is riddled with strong support for fundamentally anti-Democratic policies. As previously reported by Knock LA, Caruso has donated a total of $1 million dollars to right-wing politicians and organizations. Considering the draft reversal of Roe vs. Wade, it is extremely important to note the exorbitant amount of money he has donated to anti-abortion campaigns and causes.
Caruso made a $6 million donation to the USC Caruso Catholic Center, which is run by an anti-abortion group of bishops. He made his largest campaign contribution of $110,550 to former Ohio Senator John Kasich, who signed a ban on abortions that take place after 20 weeks.
Despite the facts, when the Roe draft leaked, Caruso tweeted, My position has always been clear. Like most, I support a womens [sic] right to choose and if made final, this will hurt many of our fellow Americans. Carusos position is actually absolutely unclear and self-contradictory, as he has backpedaled on his history of anti-abortion support for the sake of political convenicence.

He neglects to mention his personal involvement in the 2019 admissions scandal, has silenced the voices of victims of sexual assault, and continued to contradict his newly Democratic politics with his monetary contribution to the USC Caruso Catholic Center. As previously reported by Knock LA, the Catholic Center aligns itself with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Safe Environment for Children (USCCB). The group has very clear anti-abortion principles and platforms other anti-abortion resources, including an analysis on the legacy of Roe v. Wade 30 years on, which concludes that the ruling must be reversed.
...
Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannullis daughter Olivia Jades case caused even more uproar, since she was vacationing on Carusos $100 million dollar yacht during the indictment.
