Why am I the only one not “outraged” and demanding jail for them? How is what they did any different than what the rich do every year for their lackluster kids by handing millions to the school “officially”?

How is what they did any different than what the rich do every year for their lackluster kids by handing millions to the school “officially”?

Let's say your rich entitled kid wants a $200,000 sports car. What is the difference between paying $200,000 to buy it at a dealership and paying $50,000 for someone to steal one for you?

I am not "outraged" by it, but I do think that rich entitled liberals should at least be held to the same standard as some poor schmuck who writes hot checks or commits credit card fraud.

"How is what they did any different than what the rich do every year for their lackluster kids by handing millions to the school “officially”?" Maybe this will help clarify. Imagine you own a chain of stores. A supplier comes to you and says, if you carry my product, I'll give you $500,000 to remodel one of your stores. No problem, right? Owner's choice to take the deal, or ignore it.

Again, imagine you own a chain of stores. A supplier secretly approaches one of the managers of your stores, and pays the manager a $100,000 bribe to order their product. In this case, not only is the owner wronged, but so are the other product supplies who got their products displaced.
