Honest people don’t. From an 80,000-page tax code to endlessly “interpretable” securities rules, complexity rewards those who know how to game the system. This episode breaks down a jaw-dropping bankruptcy case involving a hedge fund insider living large while claiming poverty—guinea pigs and all—and explains why vague laws, endless loopholes, and legal gymnastics keep the fix in. Simplicity hurts scammers, slashes billable hours, and actually works—just like Steve Jobs proved with tech. Imagine if we demanded the same clarity from our laws.
