The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

In the future, these agents will be held accountable. Some will get away with what they’ve done. Some will lose everything and go to prison. Some of the people in their lives who knew what they were doing will also be held accountable. And some will commit seaside when they realize what they’ve done
