White vs. blue collar crime

january 8 2025 at 02:28

what is difference in $ damage done?

e.g. Madoff vs. bottom 10% of petty criminals

or criminals like NSA boss Trump Berlusconi Putin

even Weinstein, Epstein or Cosby the amount of careers and lives destroyed, legal costs incurred, lawyer hired

scams like patent trolls or Vicadine

bankers with golden parachutes French goverment by extracting money from countries like Haiti

military contractors that extract $$ for little they offer in return like rockets vs. space x

no normal criminal can steal as much

white collar crime has big advantage as it is legal but still stealing

it seems to work best, when few bad actors dress up in expensive suits and scam just enough to become rich like perdue. made them only a few hundred million cost society billions if not trillions in long term damage

seems to become unstable if mafia clique takes over an entire country like the Nazis. were basically just a mafia like enterprise that captured an entire state and tried to get an entire continent

worked better for the Romans, after the which the Nazis modeled themselves. But then there was no America to intervene and save Europe.

So maybe it’s not intrinsically unstable.

Putin also shows to capture ~80% of a countries assets / income without the own population not noticing and not complaining and even defending their head criminal while being left with scraps.

Why do men fight for their servitude as stubbornly as though it were their salvation? - Gilles Deleuze

there are also intangibles like car companies stealing from the environment pharmaceutical companies stealing health rapists stealing lives

cum ex 40 milliarden schaden für deutschland was pro jahr? Steht das Equipment in 2025 / 2026 zur Verfügung ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPR9BSnhpRw  Nachdem kurz erklärt wird, was Cum/Ex eigentlich ist, widmet sich der Vortrag zunächst der Frage, wie die Aufklärung in diesem international organisierten Fall schwerer Steuerhinterziehung überhaupt gelingen konnte und was noch zu tun ist. Wer sind die Akteure auf Seiten der Finanzbranche und wie ticken die Täter? Anschließend wird der generelle Umgang des Staates mit Wirtschaftskriminalität dargestellt und Lösungsansätze entwickelt. Dabei geht es auch um die Frage, was jeder Einzelne tun kann und warum die NGO Finanzwende ein wichtiger Ort sein kann, um politische Veränderungen bei finanzpolitischen Themen zu bewirken.
