2. From the article...
Forbes is "comparing the deplorable activity of a criminal wanted in Mexico and abroad with that of honest businessmen," he said.

Are all the other billionaires on their list honest? I wonder.

6. And LEO officials who benefit from forfeiture & seizure.
A sheriff near here drives a 2008 Corvette rigged with all the lights & bells that was taken from a so far not convicted 'suspect.'

7. White Collar Criminals ONLY!
That's so wrong! Only criminals who wear white, starched shirts should appear in Forbes.
