This is some deeply fucked up shit
Extremely rich and powerful people can get away with most stuff. If Rupert Murdoch was skull-fucking babies most nights, all his flunkies would just look the other way. Such is the power of vast amounts of wealth.

Until they can't...
I think a senior royal could get away with many things in the UK, including rape, but Prince Andrew is far less special in the US. In a way, he's already not got away with it totally.

The father of a protagonist here, Robert Maxwell. Conrad Black served time. Several Russian oligarchs are behind bars.

Actually, might as well flounce.

The likes of Khordorkovsky and Lebedev are inside for annoying Putin as much as for anything else, of course.

BBC have always had a blind spot with the Royals, their permanent fawning is repugnant and would even make a Stalinist state blush. And that grovelling little weasel scab Nicholas Witchell is the embodiment of their coverage.
This is exactly what's (still) so exasperating. Here it is in front of us - "andy is a paedo nonce shitcunt, him and his mates rape kids, everyone knows it" * and yet fuck all will happen
<*allegedly>
(Eta: hopefully something will happen this time though, obvs)

Killing yourself rather than be exposed isn't getting away with it, imo. It's the opposite of getting away with it - it's killing yourself because you didn't get away with it.
You can have the oligarchs. You're right that it's a power struggle.

Although the Yanks committed sins against Wall Street; whether if they'd kept their books in order they could have got away with noncery is moot.

And even Black served just over two years for nicking and spending over 80 million dollars of his employee's pension funds. Didn't some poor sod in the UK get the same amount of time for nicking a bottle of water during the London riots?
Yeah, that's getting away with it isn't it?

A mere slap on the wrist for that colossal cunt.

Rarely do I miss the opportunity to post an image of him after he failed to work his charm on his fellow prisoners.
He became a "humbler, more sensitive person"

Now he is properly fucked. Not that rich or powerful though, I will admit. He played at being more powerful than he was.
But I do think the likes of Thorpe count. A high-up politician, married in to the aristocracy. You could say that he got away with it in the sense that he didn't go to jail. But in the sense that we all know what he did, no he didn't.

That was six months. And there's a reasonable argument for treating theft during riot as a violent crime, and sentencing accordingly.
