    That’s horrible! I can’t believe how these criminals are wasting the money that should rightfully be getting used for cheese pizza and hot dog parties!

    Oh no! What will the people with offshore bank accounts do without the collective 10 grand they didn’t squeeze? Damn criminals! They’re avoiding taxes by laundering money abroad!

    It’s at least reassuring to know that the DoJ values the privacy of these horrible criminals enough to warrant blurring their faces. Hard to believe those assholes were spending the money on beautiful rainbows. A rainbow isn’t a physical possession someone can just keep to themselves! The idea that some guy can just own this abstract thing is deeply offensive to me and I will not be giving any more of my hard-earned money to library genesis.

    Seems like a fairly reasonable way to live. Is that supposed to look lavish?

    Let’s see the lifestyles of the CEOs for Springer, Wiley, and Elsevier for comparison.
