> The only cases of white collar crime I've seen get prosecuted is securities fraud and that's rich people stealing from other rich people.

I was trying to popularize the phrase "the only thing which is illegal in America is defrauding investors" but I have no social media presence. Feel free to take it.

Regardless I agree with you on capitalism, but my take on securities fraud is less cynical. In late stage capitalism it makes _perfect sense_ that the only crime is to steal from investors - that's capitalism protecting itself.

You know HN is just social media for nerds, right?

		No, it's not. It's just social. No media. I mean I realize there's links, don't I don't follow them, so to me it's just social without the media. Besides, the actual point which is that I have no profile, still stands.
