Crime pays

A reader sent this link to an article of the 10 criminals who "made a killing" financially, just in case people were wondering whether crime does or does not pay. Interestingly the list includes basically only CEOs and drug dealers.

  1. UKan: Still here mates.
    I think ill get out of the game before I hit those numbers. Then again I said that this was temporary over a decade ago and again a few years back.
    The game is what it is. Its the most tempting of mistresses. You start out dreaming of the fancy stuff you'll have and the fast money only to find out that its just as much of a hardship as any other business. The first few years are tough. Sometimes I look back and wonder how I made it this far with all the stupid naive moves I made at the beginning.
    Today I finished moving in a real fancy house next to the lake. I met my neighbor, who's husband is a attorney. My other neighbors only stay in their homes on vacation. Its very quiet. No smog, just trees, stars, and i can see lightning far off in the distance though its summer. So much different
    than the city life.
    Still its never enough. My wife wont have children till I have quit the game. I've been stuffing money away to get a legitimate business, but it just seems like no business is as lucrative, and even my small empire is so hard to leave. Its my baby. I've put everything into it. I sacraficed my friendships and my life in general to where I am left to a few trusted blokes.
    This is why I understand these tigers. Even making billions they still could not leave. The game is a black hole. It sucks in everything and everyone around it. One day we all must pay the price.

  2. Still at the end of the day I feel so fortunate. The near escapes, my prison sentance being overturned, that one person I met who gave me a consignment I originally turned down, or that hit on me that was never successful.
    In reality I sit on this smart phone writing this ambgious story of fractions from my life I know I can never tell in full. Even if I did no one would believe it but my close friends.
    Today I live free and I live a good life. However there is not a day that goes by that I don't remember the dark days of when I had to struggle between life and death to get here.

  3. Why do you want to get out of the Game? Not why should you get out of the Game. What things matter most to you in life?

  52. erin. i can't tell you if it's the same. it's very hard for me to explain what happens when someone becomes my mate. there is a great hunger there before i make them mine.

    i feel that if i wanted to, i could posses them as a demon would. take 9over their mind.
    i long to see them reflect in their actions, my affect on them. it excites me when they finally surrender everything to me.
    this is when the change happens.
    the compulsion takes over, and i must obey it.

    once my mate is in a state of complete euphoria, i feel it is my duty to force her back into cold reality. make her see that she has mistaken my need to consume her, for love. I set a corrosive force in motion. dissolve everything she knew in her heart to be true.
    i can't help myself. it's the devil in me.

  62. @tik

    they leave me no choice but to rage. empaths have this interesting need to cling to their illusions. once the truth is out, they refuse to accept it.

    they would rather accept the life a devil would give them, than to give up the beauty of the fire he lit inside them.

    no one will ever make you feel more alive than someone who can breathe your fantasy from the story books, into flesh.
    no one will ever make you feel so much anguish, when the book is closed forever.

    they mistake this anguish for the despair true love brings, because they have never felt so much intensity.
    i have no choice but to leave them in pieces. but fist i have to crush them, so they never forget.

  71. tik. if they were to leave me first, i would hunt them down. my compulsion drives me to leave them in pieces. no one leaves if they've been crushed.
    i would draw them back in till they are sure of my remorse, and then finish the job.
    if they don't leave me, it is inevitable that i will become bored and leave.

    erin. i never go back. i can't imagine why i would need to. can you?

  76. erin. it has taken longer than you may imagine. i never saw it this way in my younger years. i always felt like they were just wrong for me.
    i never stood still enough to see the patterns.

    it wasn't till a long time friend of mine handed me my wrap sheet so to speak, on failed relationships. he was joking around about it, i don't think he knew just how close to the truth he really was.
    i started to pay more attention from then on.

  85. Yeh I was just making a dumb joke

    ReplyDelete
  86. i am 43. and i dont feel the need to punish in the beginning. if you never get too close, i will always treat you the same as everyone else. if you are generating money for me, i will always treat you with respect. that is, unless you are in the way of me reaching the next level.

    if you are not of use to me, i treat you with indifference.
    but if you become my mate or friend, you are eventually going to show me things about yourself, that may make you seem inferior to me.
    that's where it begins.

    my advise to everyone who starts showing an interest; dont get attached. keep it on a sex only basis, or you're going to get burned.

    The joke teller is the only person who is "in on it." Masturbating, hullo.

    Making fun OF the other person, not trying to make them laugh....

    Gotta wonder why people laugh at their own jokes.

  90. erin. what if i were a woman sociopath? would you still be so sweet to me, or do you only excuse the males?

    that is, have you changed your attitude toward socio males simply because you fell in love with one?

    what was your original attitude towards them before your beloved socio?

  111. @Erin.
    yeah i somehow figured you might say that. i'm thinking uber empath is just female sociopath, as we define them here. also, you and i have similar backgrounds i suspect but we diverged paths in our teens maybe. your mother sounds like an idiot by the way (sorry to call your mother an idiot).

    well paperwork time. i will be back later.

    ReplyDelete
  112. it is my believe that because you have no sexual desire for women, you are quick to judge their treatment of you.
    it's amazing to me that there is never enough anger behind your words, when you speak of your socio. when the subject of abusive women comes up, you have a rather adolescent reaction.
    possibly this is the child's rebellious voice, you are still using to address your mother.
    when you feel attraction for the male socio, you no longer use this angry child to fight back.
    you give him leave to destroy you, because you let your sexual desires consume you.

    it is my belief that you are the kind of woman other, stronger women despise because you build your life around a hopeless tragedy. the tragic romances of a fictional world.

    if you were on the outside looking in, would you respect such a woman? a woman who will not see just how angry she should be over how she was treated, and keeps allowing it to go on?

  122. He had to ask me what "cinematic" and "precocious" and one other common word meant.

    He is all into the native side of his heritage, that is what his entire life is about as well as how he makes a living, but didn't even know the name of his grandfather's tribe's language when my housemate handed him a dictionary for it (her fiance also has half a side from the same tribe, the one tribe that the white man couldn't conquer).

    He was all "Huh, what's this?"

    And the white lady had to explain it do him.

  126. Half the time he looked like a little boy who never grew up, and the other half of the time he looked like a daemon.

    I liked that about him, but points to a disconnect.

    ReplyDelete
  127. He writes without contractions, ever, just like the previous quasi-socio.

    In fact, when I first met him, he requested my facebook friendship, and then immediately deleted his whole wall. Except for a couple of tagged photos of him, one in which he is standing next to my quasi-socio ex.

    Turned out he doesn't know the guy, but it was still... cosmically weird.

  128. Yes Erin I am a turd. You have no idea just how much of one I am. I know a secret about your lovely anon, that you can't seem to figure out on your own, because you love the lie so much.

    I keep thinking I might just go ahead and tell you, but where is the fun in that?

    I'm sure there are people here who have already figured him out. They are also keeping this secret from you.

    I don't need your friendship. Weak women like you disgust me. I would crush you like an insect if you got near me!

  131. He wasn't needy, except at certain moments. One time he thought I was sneaking out in the morning before he got up (I was just getting something out of my bag) and he freaked out and got all paranoid.

    I wouldn't call him weak, either, but I feel a lot of his strength was faked or self-convincing.

    I got rid of him because he wasn't treating me the way that Wonder Woman should be treated.

    Her latest 'idea' is to open a 'red tent' for women on thier periods. Massages, hair washing, stones on the abdomen while John Hughes movies play in the background.

  173. Dammit. Sometimes embedded links cause the spam filter to flag a comment. I don't have the URL for the site anymore, so I guess you'll have to manually refresh SW between the 3:57 and 4:13 until it pops back up when ME fixes his spam box. ME usually does that pretty quick.

  175. It's true, we've had issues with the spam filter for quite a while now. Usually happens with long comments or comments with links in them.

    This is why Zwang often breaks up his novels into several novellas.

  177. Medusa, do you mind emailing me your answer to my question? I know you're a little more private than Erin. If not, it's ok.

  178. What the fuck is your problem, Erin? I don't need your fucking attitude. I asked a question, the spam filter scanned the blog and eventually flagged it, and it will be back within the hour. Chill the fuck out. I can't magic it back myself and I don't have the link anymore. So just wait. Jeesh.

  180. Alright. Just remember to refresh your browser between those spots. It IS the weekend, so ME might take longer than usual, you never know. Just stay vigilant. Thanks.

    Have you ever loved somebody so much
    That you can barely breath when you're with 'em
    Then you suffocate to death.
