Possibly the most muddle-headed post of all time.
The point.
1) A person, most likely an ex-con that knows the prison inside out, decides 5 years of his life is worth $400k.
2) You stage a crime so that the evidence points to you.
3) You produce hard evidence at the same time that you didn't do it - and you hide it for later use.
4) You let the prosecutor do his job.
5) When you decide you've collected enough payback time - at $80k a year - you arrange for the evidence to be discovered.
6) You get out of prison, get to collect $80k for each year served and you get a long term annuity. In my previous example you walk out with $400k and who knows what in a lifetime annuity. Not bad for an unskilled criminal over 5 years... Especially if their alternative is minimum wage with nothing left after living expenses. No future, no hope.
Just because you apparently can't follow the logic doesn't make it “muddle-headed”...
You may not agree with it, but you don't have to be an ass in the process.
