    Humans tend to push boundaries. For the super rich there are nearly no boundaries set. Breaking most laws only costs money, which doesn’t scale with the wealth of the culprit.

    Drugs, legal girls, legal entertainment gets probably boring if you have it all the time. So they get more depraved.

    I would not be surprised if some of them torture, kill and enslave people just for kicks

        As I said: not surprised.

        Shootings in a war zone, who would investigate?

        There are places in the world where the law breaks down. You wouldn’t even have to go to a war zone for that: If the super rich abducted some homeless people who would notice? Especially if it’s in a poor country with already corrupt police.

        Hell even in “first world” countries the poorest are nearly unprotected.

        The one thing he did NOT do, however, was turn Mcafee into the steaming pile of spyware sewage that it is today. He knew where to draw the line.
