When a person has a conscience so diminished as to be totally untroubled by little things like ethics, corruption is not only easy, is is imperative. Add to that a fortune that not only dwarfs just about any other collection of ill-gotten currency and wealth in the world, with a mindset that places one’s concept of self on the level of some kind of supernatural deity, and a sort of belief in one’s own omnipotence is inevitable.

The pharaohs of Egypt and the emperors of Rome were never so arrogant.
