For most people, the individual who has abundant wealth can do whatever he wants. Some people argue that the rich can even escape the trap of the law, only by paying a certain amount of money to the institution. Such thoughts have long been ingrained in the minds of some people, while other facts say that the rich and powerful who can get away from crime cases usually actually put the person who reported it in jail.

Here are 4 stories about a rich man who escaped from the snare of such a terrible law:
