You can commit most crimes in this world with relative impunity, but the number one rule is never steal from the rich.

"Lying about deals with the same government that will eventually prosecute you" seems like another pretty obvious rule.

Claiming you have contracts signed when you don't is fraud, but claiming you have $100M in DoD revenue when you don't is elaborate corporate suicide.

I have seen this idea from time to time. I don't think it's right. The problem is they are stealing from people with abilities, smarts, and resources. Of course, there are going to be backlashes.

That's ridiculous. She would have gotten thrown in jail if she carried an ounce of cocaine. "Stealing from the rich" resulted in a "civil" violation. Big deal.

When the Department of Justice charges, convicts and throws her in prision -- then we can talk about the "number one rule."
