Can he please go to jail?
Nah he just illegally manipulated the stock price of a company he bought to the tune of billions of dollars.
Not like he got a voter registration in the mail with his name on it and filled it out and dropped it off while technically not being allowed to vote. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/27/pamela-moses-voting-rights-mistake-jail
So barring any major crimes they likely won't even need to warm up the wrist slappers, they'll just send the head of the SEC to lick his shoes.
Had he stolen some chips from Circle K then he'd already be in jail.
True and if he tried that while black he would probably be dead.
My local news had a SHOCKING report about some dude who stole $6k in sneakers. I was reading it thinking,"That's pennies compared to the Wall Street amoral fuckers who are ripping off the country." Yet it's common knowledge which criminal will end up with jail time.
Or get deported back to South Africa
Mo money, ~~mo~~ no punishments.
