    Definitely. This was more of a general comment.

    I will copy/paste a thought I had about a more structured approach for dealing with corruption/oligarchs:

    You need to put them on trial in a legitimate court (i.e. exclude compromised judiciary systems).

    If the oligarch/senior lackey is found guilty, you could use real rehabilitation methods that would creates incentives for good behaviour for other criminals:

    1. Full asset seizure (every last cent, home, house, everything).
    2. Extended family and business partners being required to sign affidavits detailing their knowledge re: assets in [1], with an understanding that if the affidavit was found to have not been signed in good faith, they will be subject to full asset seizure and their own family and business partners will also have to sign similar affidavits for their own case. No statue of limitations for affidavits.
    3. 20 years mandatory live-in community service as junior support person at a hospice centre (minimum wage). Exact focus of community service would depend on crimes committed.

      I like it. Honestly don’t think it’s harsh enough. My point was less about harsh penalties than collateral damage from crazies. I think we’re pretty much on the same page though.
