Every time when I think I have an idea on how much asshole and terrible human being he was tidbit like this comes out and deepens it...

Don't pretend that you wouldn't do the same thing if you had a net worth of multiple billions. =)

I certainly would, if the license plate would offend my aesthetics.

My understanding is people kept stealing his license plate and he was getting so much trouble for it he just went with the loophole.

This just doesnt seem all that bad?

I'm not sure what other event top poster was referring to, but I would consider driving a car without plates to be especially bad on it's own. That's like willfully excluding yourself from all the car related laws, can't be issued a speed ticket, can't be found after an accident, can't be ticketed for illegal parking and so on. The sheer arrogance of driving a car without plates or with fake plates or with plates illegally swapped from a different vehicle is infuriating. In my country this is done by the most sociopathic rich people there are - criminals "in law", some marginal parliament members, sons of oligarchs etc.
