Martha Stewart went to prison for insider trading to avoid a loss of $45,673. She was worth in the hundreds of millions at the time.
So she was actually innocent (in the legal system sense, at least) of the crime she was initially accused of, but guilty of obstructing the investigation.
Similar to the Ghosn story, actually: he's guilty of jumping bail and whatnot no matter what's going on with the substantive issue of embezzlement.
Kids, if the FBI comes a-knocking, shut. Your. Fat. Fucking. Mouth.
Ask for a lawyer and the shut the fuck up. It doesn't matter if you're innocent.
If you talk to the Feds and make a mistake, you can be charged with a felony for lying to to federal agents. Did you talk to that guy on Saturday, May 20th, 2017? Who knows? The Feds do, and if you don't remember precise details, you got yourself a felony charge. Felony. Even if you are innocent of anything else, you lied to a Federal investigator.
Shut up. Ask for a lawyer. And shut up.
(I'm OK with the downvotes, if this helps someone remember to shut up and get a lawyer)
It's always shut the fuck up Friday. 7 days a week.
It's a glaring injustice that a completely random innocent person can be prosecuted for saying "I don't know"
It's a shame that people who do have an option to not to live in hellholes, and having functioning democracy can't lift a finger to do something about that instead of doing nothing, while rambling on internet forums.
The point was that it's not impossible, merely because Ghosn was rich, that he didn't do the deed.
