So, Steve Green knew perfectly well that he was financing looting and that it was illegal -- heck, he'd be explicitly warned.

What is his punishment? He has to return the stolen items and pay a $3 million fine -- which is pocket change to someone like him.


Meanwhile, if I walked into a Hobby Lobby store and pocketed an item with a retail value of a few dollars, I'd likely go to jail.


You know, maybe there wouldn't be so much corporate crime if rich white guys occasionally went to prison when they're caught performing or financing huge crimes. But, of course, this is America: rich white criminals don't go to prison; they get a slap on the wrist and are told "don't do that again -- or at least, don't get caught."
