I am afraid that you are right. The expression: "He is making a lot of money." is deceptive. A man doesn't make money, he changes the distribution of it. Away from others but towards himself. Ergo, the more he "makes", the less someone else must have. Of course, inflation will create money, but the value of the overall money supply decreases for the now wealthy man as well as the now poorer man.
Bottom line is that one can only win, while the other one looses. Looking at the super-rich one has inadvertently come to the conclusion that somewhere a lot of people must be off a lot worse because of him shifting obscene amounts of money to himself.

These are the areas where the law becomes very grey and the loop holes make the law look like an Aero chocolate bar
The real crux to the situation is the people that commit these crimes are intelligene enough to know irrespective of the law they are morally wrong

Money and power really have nothing in common. If money did equal power, you wouldn't get a tax return from the government.
It is possible for a person to become rich and lead a very clean life, be a nice person, etc. It is not possible for that person to have real power however. On the other hand if a person has real power that person does not need personal money. He probably has a lot of it, but then power attracts money like a magnet attracts iron filings. Its just something powerful people deal with.

It's just a lame excuse for us people who aren't wealthy to use.
Most rich got rich by just plain old hard work. Some risked everything and were lucky.
Occasional, some wealthy people become above the law, such as the Kennedys.

Bill Gates is rolling in it and he donates more than some small countries... it is possible just unlikely. Nepotism keeps the money in the same hands and second and third generation money will always be more dirty than the hands that earned it...

There's an old Japanese expression: "A rich man and an ashtray-- they more they collect, the filthier they become".

Quite untrue. I've known plenty of wealthy people who aren't crooked.
