    If I could do something to piss people off and make life changing money I’d probably do it

      Want to know why karma is real? Karma isnt some mystical force that keeps the world in balance. If you live your life pissing people off, one day you will piss someone off who doesn’t take kindly to being pissed off. The more you do it, the more likely it is to happen to you.

        And if you have screwed over enough folks to get ahead in life, it won’t really matter if you piss someone off who doesn’t take kindly to being pissed off. You will have already gotten ahead.

        Oh what? They file a lawsuit that takes less than 2% of your net worth and takes 5+ years to occur, if it even is successful? Assuming it even comes to fruition, you will have plenty of time to distribute your assets or refinance so you never feel the effects.

        People like Bernie Madoff are the exception, not the rule. For 99% of the rich fucks, even if they lose, they’ll come out smelling like roses and will still have enough capital to ensure they live a long, comfortable life

        You may not want to face the uncomfortable truth, but karma is a myth to make the lower classes feel ok for not being sociopaths.
