Are all super-rich people criminals as shown by many recent proofs?
Aren’t you shocked by the recent £350,000,000 ($700,000,000) global fraud by reputed RBG Resources PLC? Virendra Rastogi, the ring leader of the RBG Resources global plot, was on the coveted SUNDAY TIMES RICH LIST & earlier classified as a hard-working young entrepreneur! I ask you: Is fraud an enterprise?
Even the former richest man of world, BILL GATES, was fined MORE THAN $1,000,000,000 by European Union for AntiTrust crimes whereas he earlier claimed that he too was a hard-working ENTREPRENEUR. And, he was the richest man by figures with at one time holding more than $100 billion!

It’s really shameful & sad to know that people whom me admire as our leaders & hard-working entrepreneurs later turn out to be either fraudsters or white-collar criminals.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION:
Does this mean that all our leaders, whom we admire & work for, are liars & white-collar big criminals? Is this where this world is heading?
If yes, is this the only way to become rich? I’m very sorry to ask this but isn’t this the truth now & everywhere that honest, hard-working people get pissed off and the crooks win?
What can we do to stop all these unethical actions from happening in the world? Please be practical. Or, if we can’t stop, should we also get involved in accordance with the saying: “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!”? Otherwise, if we don’t do anythig, won’t we start getting ruled by crooks?
“The only way for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”
Nate:Forbes accounts for both legal a& illegal funds globally because it also included Pablo Escobar, criminal mafiosi, in 1989 with net worth of $9 billion as the 7th richest man globally! Arab Oil Sheikhs are way below Bill Gates (though they’re also included in Forbes List) as they’ve no means or knowledge of stock-manipulation & anti-trust!
iceman:LOL, Escobar was killed in 1993 AFTER being classified as the 7th richest man in the world in 1989!
Yes, Bill Gates’ wealth has declined but he’s still the 3rd richest in 2008. I don’t see him getting any punishment for his sins & white-collar crimes (where’s our God now?), except that he’s enjoying his life in his multimillion dollar Digital House (wow, great punishment by God) and some petty (for him) antitrust fines that his company can pay for within a month.
For propaganda he uses his Foundation to make people believe that he’s a God-fearing “good-man” whereas he’s actually worse than a mafioso “good-fella” if you clearly look at him & his company’s history.
Alas, even after all my efforts, I’ve started coming to the conclusion:”If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!” At least, you’ll enjoy your life here on Earth like them, isn’t it?
Fardin:It’s all propaganda, man. Have you ever met a rich person in person? If not, if & when you meet, then you’ll see of what they portray them as & what they truly way. Even Hitler & Escobar portrayed them as God by controlling the media but were they?

Well the Bill Gates thing is a bit different. Anti-Trust laws go against the main instinct of business: to destroy competition. Business is a nasty game, and power corrupts.
The thing you misunderstand is this: typically a normal person doesn’t have to make decisions that are as big and widespread as the CEO of a company. You don’t really come into a lot of decisions that are as tempting as a business may. How often does someone ask you to compromise your morals for an easy million?
Oh, sure. All rich people are dishonest. All poor people are honest and hard-working. While we are at it, all african-americans play basketball, all white people like country-western music and are Republican, all people with long hair are liberal and smoke pot, and all religious leaders molest children.
Or…this possibility just occurred to me…maybe these are broad generalizations and unfair stereotypes based upon a one-sided portrayal in the media. The newspapers don’t report on the super-rich honest people. That’s boring. They only report on the dishonest ones thereby creating the false illusion that they are all crooks.
UPDATE: If you come to the conclusion of “if you can’t beat them, join them” then this really tells us more about you than it does about them. If your morals and values allow you to do something you consider to be dishonest just because other people are doing it, you might want to question your values.
Making money is OK, but as long as money is your servant and you it’s master.
But there is a point of no return, cross it and money will be your master, then greed will take over you. Power is next and it’s always in the company of the fraud.. Can’t be stopped.
A good example is dick cheney, a billion-er, still attacks and bomb the oil out of Iraqis, why ???
Edit : lol, Bill Gate is rich, but there are some people who are in the 12 zeros. When market crashed in 2000, Gate dropped from $160 billions to about $ 30 b.
Escobar was killed, I believe in the 80′s. Colombian army with help from CIA, attacked his mansion and what a gun fight that was ? lol
He was the big boss of the cartel, so his death was pretty much the end of cartel.
You won’t believe that who took over cartel next.
Edit : Thank you my friend for correcting me, so it was in 93 ,
wow how fast the time is gone.
Damn, so Gate’s charity is a hocks? and I thought we have a good guy for a change. lol
Stereotypes don’t really have anything to do with it. Are all wealthy people criminal? No, not really. But truly filthy over the top rich people? Nobody has gotten that far in business without criminal-like behavior and actions. You have to be brutal in business to earn several million dollars.
Bill Gates was never the richest man in the world. The dictators who hold the oil in the middle east were always richer. Forbes only accounts for “legitimate” funds when it figures top business and richest men alive lists.
I disagree with you, because when some people become Rich may be they changed and become dishonest and may be they became great criminal, they can do any unconstitutional act. but on the other side some people when became rich they became kind and good person. and they will trickily follows their religion, specially in Islam they help poor, the give (Zakat) which is one of the pillars of Islam, and they will pay governmental tax timely and they will do anything honestly,
you know nothing is perfect, so we can’t say all rich man are criminal. thanks
