Meanwhile her equally rich ex-boyfriend, Sunny Balwani, reported to prison last month. Maybe the justice system is biased against men..


or racist?


Or both.


At this point I’m actually impressed.


Facepalm Emoji


is this justice delayed


This is a demonstration of how money affects justice. Normal people would be waiting for their appeal date in the jail cell rather than on the beach.


Anyone remember Enron CEO Ken Lay? Convicted of 6 counts of conspiracy and fraud, appealed, died of heart failure while the appeal was pending and while awaiting sentencing. Court ruled that since he was dead without being sentenced (formal record of conviction is entered when the sentence is handed down), the conviction was abated (didn't count). So his estate got to keep $43.5 million in assets that he otherwise would have had to pay out to his scam victims.


to me that sounds like some "Pentangeli looks at Hagen; he understands" stuff


Sunny Balwani has more money but is already in prison.


Specifically the least comfortable cell possible in the most violent county possible.


This is like real-life r/WallStreetBets but for avoiding prison.
