@clacke That's why serial killers target people who are too poor to have any financial footprint. There's a highway in Canada that's known as the Highway of Tears because of a serial killer who targeted native women along a stretch of highway for a decade. Nobody cared or noticed for years because he was targeting people with no footprints or connections to anyone else meaningful.
Tim McVeigh was caught because his rental van left a paper trail and his getaway car didn't have registry stickers on it. Ted Kaczynski was caught because of his brother. Jeffrey Dahmer managed to go 23 years continuously killing people simply because he targeted irrelevant nobodies, and only got caught because he let someone get away.
History has taught us that it's surprisingly easy to get away with huge crimes as long as there's no financial motive behind them and the victims have no meaningful clout. On the other end of the spectrum it's stupendously easy to get away with massive financial crimes if you're part of a cabal that controls the judicial and governmental systems to begin with.
