    You don’t need to be a billionaire or even own a boat…

    People stage accidents on rented boats and even cruise ships fairly often.

    Regardless of if it works and they get away with it, a lot of people have seen Dexter.

    Billionaires can just outspend the government on lawyers to get away with anything. So there’s probably a higher percentage who assume they can get away with it.

    Because DA’s are obsessed with win rate, they give cushy plea deals to people who can pay for good lawyers. Regular people and the government are the opposite, and innocent people are forced to take plea deals because time served and probation is always better than a 1% chance of 25 years in prison.

    For a billionaire they just have to keep stalling till the money runs out. Even where Kirk got shot, the local officials were immediately freaking out over how they were going to pay for it all. So it doesn’t even take being a millionaire in some places. There’s a reason the children of lawyers are usually insufferable…

    They don’t use their own boats.

    They have a guy, who knows a guy, who can get a boat, and make it look like an accident.

    Thee has always been talk about international waters not being policed, and party boats attract party girls. It’s a perfect setup.

    They can do it live on television at this point. There no one to hold them accountable.

    In Russia, they fall out of windows, in America they “suicide” in prison. Same shit different dipshit.

    Always thought Mariana Trench would be a great place to hide bodies in weighted steel barrels…

    Let’s start at the beginning. Good luck defining what a yacht is.
