What's your price, beeyatch?
I see from the comments that few people got the point of my last post. Well, you got the point about Ebbers, fine, but not my little gedeankenexperiment. I am glad that all of you are upstanding, law-abiding boy scouts. I am an upstanding, law-abiding boy scout. I'm with you.
I know that none of you would want to steal from the little people, or leave the sick and hungry old without their pensions. The shame of being incarcerated for something like fraud would bring you to your knees. You don't even get the street cred of a felony murder rap. Fine.
Let's assume that some perverse trillionaire makes you an offer. He will staff an unused prison with felons on loan from the penal system. He will hire guards. He'll buy a set of free weights and subscribe to basic cable. How much money would you need to stay for three years in this facility that is in every respect just like a minimum security federal prison except that when its all over, you don't have a police record to sully your good name?
How much for a similarly staffed and equipped facility that instead models a federal maximum security prison?
What is the minimum amount that would make you say, "All right. I will risk my ass for that kind of money?"

Okay, game changes. Absent any shame aspect, which would almost certainly suck the fun out of any money I could get from *real* crime, I can do this.
Three years in a fakey minsec prison? $10M
Three years in a fakey maxsec prison? $no amount.

It would have to be a hell of a lot.
I would think about it for $50 million (after tax). The 3 years away from my kids still may not be worth it. Do I get conjugal visits?
Pre-Wife and kids (young and dumb), I would have done it for the $10 mil cash.

My price was $10M/$50M with a criminal record attached, so needless to say, it drops a lot. Assuming all I'm losing are the three years of my life, I'd do it for a million in the min-sec prison(my time is worth a fair bit to me, even if the conditions are good), and maybe $10M in the max-sec. For that price, I can lose three years to hanging with felons, since the rest of my life would be way better afterwards.
