Neither Ross Ulbricht or Schaeffer Cox were celebrities until they were prosecuted, although Cox was a local political activist.

"Wanna be a serial killer? You'll get away with it!"

Is murder some reduction in the ability of banksters to acquire? I submit that avoiding predatory financial manipulation is, and will attract their attention. There are mechanisms that enable free people to secure wealth, but there is no mechanism without risk.

Specifying risk and mitigation is the core essence of due diligence incumbent on investors. I seek but to point out risks that may be advisable to mitigate to the extent possible in the expected conditions going forward.

Ignoring the differences in incentives to apply law enforcement to different situations isn't very useful in performing that due diligence. There's not much point in discussing murder when considering financial security, unless you consider that a risk you face.

Given that murderous thugs are mowing people down with cars and kicking them in the head - and I'm talking about Australian police enforcing public health policies today - that is a reasonable risk. You will mitigate those risks you see as reasonable going forward. Cops aren't mowing people down with cars and kicking them in the head to question them regarding murders, but they are people failing to comply with health policies.

Compare those potential risks accordingly.

It's hard to fake being in compliance with a mask mandate.
Dare I say impossible?

It's pretty easy to pay for things in cash... so far.
Police brutality will never target the wealthy by design.
The system we live in incentivizes the strong to attack the weak, in all aspects.
Fair fights are rarely profitable.

"Police brutality will never target the wealthy by design."

Yes it will, does, and always has. However, it does not apply to them as are secure from it because of the nature of their wealth. It was done to Al Capone, Julian Assange, and various others whose wealth was susceptible specifically to the use of government.

Given the nature of Capone's wealth, which particularly was invested in local government, it is obvious he did undertake to mitigate risk, but ultimately presented too large a prize for the mitigation effort he was able to deploy.

Food for thought.
