If people perceive you have money
in the U.S.,
laws don’t apply to you.
They just…don’t.
You are unlikely to be charged
with anything.
And, in the rare instances
where you are charged,
you are unlikely to be found guilty.
Is this fair or just?
No.
But it isn’t a fair or just world.
For business builders,
this has big implications.
If our target market
is the wealthy,
we are at risk
of not being paid,
of being victims
of other crimes.
UNLESS people perceive us
as being as wealthy,
as powerful
as the people we serve.
If we can’t yet craft
that type of personae,
it is likely best
that we avoid the wealthy
until we CAN craft it.
Laws don’t apply
to the wealthy.
Remember that
when dealing with them.
