      You get SMACKED or SLAMMED in newspaper articles. The damage to your ego is enough punishment really. Much worse than any fine or jail time.

      Billionaires have it rough.

        First the papers CHOP you down, and then they DROPKICK you into the gutter, then SUPLEX your reputation, followed by a HEADLOCK, and then oh no what’s this why are they climbing the corner post - MOONSAULT onto your ego with a flying elbow

          Ow, that hurt just to watch. Actually, after seeing the media give such a vicious beatdown, the billionaire seems like the underdog - we should really root for them instead!

            Don’t worry, the billionaire flouts all regulations and bravely pulls out a gun on his assailants. A tense deadlock ensues, but watch out oh dear here comes Bernie Sanders with the steel chair!

        In the off chance you get fined for completely dismantling democracy and helping place a crook in presidency, they will make you pay 1/1000th of your yearly bonuses. Monstrous, such barbaric measures.

      Judges and ‘boards’ complain about it for clout until everyone forgets?

      “I won’t stand for it!”
