> All of these people need to go to jail after what happened to Aaron Swartz

Their wealth has exceeded an escape velocity beyond which they won't be put in prison (or if they are they would quickly be pay-for-play pardoned) unless they are seen as a threat to even wealthier people.

See, for example: Devon Archer, Jason Galanis, Benjamin Delo, Arthur Hayes, Samuel Reed, Trevor Milton, Carlos Watson, Paul Walczak, Todd and Julie Chrisley, Lawrence Duran, Marian Morgan, Imaad Zuberi, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Joseph Schwartz, et al.

Some of these people are broke bitches compared to the group of people you're talking about now, and yet still hit the threshold of being above the law as long as they play the corruption game.

Are they beyond death? No money on Earth can save you from dying.

Only one guy seems to have tried that so far, and I haven't seen anyone emulating him, just a lot of fear of that from the so-called elites.

I mean... sure... we're all going to die eventually.

But in the meantime it would be nice if the rule of law existed regardless of wealth, but that isn't the world we live in.
