You can bet that Judges were - and still are - getting “a piece of the action”
All over the USA there are hotshot attorneys (one I once knew locally just got a year and a day for income tax evasion!), physicians (In FL recently - Medicare fraud for Lamborghinis !!!), politicians (CA esp.), Judges, etc. getting away with huge tax-free criminal scams and schemes
“Writing” books they cannot write - with say - $2.5 million income - while they want a top surgeon to be limited to $100,000 a year (my Doc laughed bigtime)

Yes, I wrote in another post that I didn’t trust any of them, etc, etc. They are all crooks.
One long time lawyer in my town just went to jail. I knew someone who had used him and liked him.
