Earlier quoted context omitted.
> If I throw $10,000 over the white house fence and you jump the fence to get to it, its still YOUR problem and YOU are the one at fault for being where you arent supposed to be. Actually, I'm fairly sure throwing objects over the White House fence without some authority is also illegal, so in your example both parties would legally be at fault.
Somehow, I don't think normal rules apply to people who have enough spare money so that can they toss $10,000 just to see what you will do.
Yet no one telling me why I am wrong.
There are so many ways to dodge rules with money. One could be a diplomat and immune, claim it was a campaign donation to get the favor and therefor lenience of the incumbent, use the rest of the money to hire suberb lawyers to drag the case out forever, Since its the presidents lawn a presidential pardon might help or of any of the other ways were having a ton of wealth simply provides more options.
