There should be a law. If your net worth is or was over a certain threshold, you should always have a "go out of prison" card.

She went down for ripping off investors (not guilty of defrauding the paying customers of course).

Their net worth beats her net worth.

Just formalise what already happens ?

But that would probably invite scrutiny that was unwelcome.

Someone should get some stats on how much this happens already.

Absolutely grotesk and she is convinced she is innocent. Expect her to get right back into the next grift as soon as she can/is allowed.
