Today's story of how the two speed legal system (one for elite, one for the rest of us) is breaking down on a global scale involves the granddaughter of fashion magnate Nina Ricci. Arlette Ricci thought she was above the law, invisible to the herd in all of her actions. It caused her to try to evade paying her taxes. But as I indicated would be the general case, someone within HSBC decided to roll over on her (and I would not be surprised to learn that this happened because they turned state's evidence after getting caught for their own crimes) and now she has been sentenced to 3 years in jail with the requirement to serve one of them. That might not sound like much but she is an old lady now, not used to prison life. 1 year for her would be more difficult than several years for someone who was not used to having so much privilege in life.
The elite who thought they were going to get away with all of their crimes have to worry now on two fronts. The first front is that they make some kind of mistake on their own part. The second is that someone else makes a mistake and then in order to lessen their own pain, they join the Tattle Battle against their own co-conspirators. We are going to see this happen with increasing frequency going forward and this is not going to abate until the matter of 9-11 comes tumbling out of the closet, skeletons and all.
