When they didn't get it, then the criminal charges came. Easy to get a jury of jealous envious people that have been taught to hate the successful in today's society.

I've been watching this happen more and more often lately.

I have only read a little bit, but it's my understanding that the real reason he got in so much trouble is because he kept avoiding, ignoring, and laughing off fines and other court ordered responsibilities, not so much the con of it being "easy." The "easy" thing is BS, but if he really put off everything for decades, then he can't go crying about it being unfair.
