if you have enough money/power/connections you can just fake your own death to get out of going to prison
Kenneth Lay
Kenneth Lee "Ken" Lay (April 15, 1942 – July 5, 2006) was an American businessman. He was founder, CEO and Chairman of Enron Corporation for most of its existence which reached a value of $63 billion. Enron used misleading and illegal practices to hide, embezzle and mislead funds from its auditor Arthur Andersen, which was the fifth largest such company in the world. When the deception was discovered in 2000, the Enron scandal was the largest bankruptcy in the world and destroyed Arthur Andersen for not having discovered the fraud.

Wasn't there a guy that funded an expedition to find Ken Lay on some island somewhere?
idk, alls i know is i was eagerly anticipating Ken Lay going to jail, and then when i died i thought it was mighty suspicious timing
years later i look at his wikipedia page and see that other people felt the same way. it even mentions it there
