People say in America you can get away with anything if you're a billionaire.

Not true. The crime of defrauding your investors will land you in jail even if you're a billionaire. I'm proud of America.

Eventually.

It does take ~10 years in practice for people to notice the lies and for the FBI to finally arrest you. At least in Enron or Worldcom cases, these things can go on for a very long time.

USA is eventually correct, but we take our sweet ass time getting there.
