    I mean it took a very long time to get him but also the chargers are not about his extra carricular activities… They are about sharing some secrets or something… its a sham

        At least that put Capone in jail, I read the expected penalty for Andrew is a fine. Which is nothing to a wealthy man.

        So a little public embarrassment and then straight back to a life of wealth and comfort

        It’s not justice, though. Points for getting him on that, lord knows the US isn’t prosecuting for it either, but potentially being done for financial crime instead of the mountains of evidence showing him to be an international rapist pedophile monster is a joke.

        For what it’s worth, Capone was only stopped by syphilis - he ran the mob just fine from prison until it got so bad he couldn’t. Which I admit is a solution I wholeheartedly endorse in this instance, too.

        Edit: nope nvm he’s been released.

        technically true,

        but in reality, they made new IRS law just for him. the rules about declaring illegal income. So if he does, it’s a confession, if he doesn’t that’s a crime that’s easier to prove than specific extortion/murders.

        it wasn’t like they got him for a minor tax offense, but made up new rules just to catch him.
