    I am assuming that when this guy is caught, what we will find out is that his wife had cancer and died from it and they refused to honor their claims or something like that.

      Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, and he just never gets caught.

      If he does, it’s gonna be one hell of a gofundme campaign for his defense.

        Except the government will probably make GoFundMe freeze the funds for the campaign.

          I legit think the state/oligarchy will kill him silently. Taking it to trial and giving this guy a voice could make things so much worse for them. They’re afraid of creating a robin hood, and class solidarity; of giving the working class a hero and cause to rally around.

          They’re so close to creating a robot army that can suppress the masses. They just have to bide their time until revolution is impossible.

            Wouldn’t that backfire though?

            Won’t more people start thinking “So this guy killed a really important CEO and apparently never got caught nor faced repercussions… you know what…”

      Dealing with insurance with a nonfatal chronic illness can also be infuriating. You have to keep fighting the same battle over and over and over again.

      Or perhaps himself dying of a treatable disease they refused to pay for. He’ll be a hero either way, the question is how much.
