      Naahhh.. that would give him hope - He'd have infinite time for it, and eventually achieve that. The people he exploits now, don't have a light at the end of the tunel

        nono it's okay, we simulate the real world - every time he gets close to getting good savings and builds up hope, we crush it just like on Earth - his car breaks, he or a loved one has a medical emergancy, spice it up sometimes with natural disasters, random price spikes for necessities. he'll never be actually able to save up for a house, let alone the fortune he had when he was alive. he'd be one of the last to get out of hell

          No he wouldent, assuming you left his money in an account with interest. Even that shitty .02% you get from normal checking accounts, he would never be able to work off the interest alone, its still millions of dollars a day.

            Bonus: he needs to feed himself, pay rent and do taxes using the money he earns. If he dies, he’ll start all over again at $0.

              Imagine life was a game. You lived for 2025 years. You worked 260 days / year. You made the median US salary.

              You would need to relive that process 3,145 times to match an Oligarch.

              That amount of wealth is unethical while humanity suffers. No one can really fathom “1b dollars.”

                  For reference, Rockefeller was worth $1.4 billion in 1937 dollars on his death. That is the equivalent of $31.36 billion today. The richest person, Elon Musk, is currently worth $400 billion, or nearly 13 Rockefellers.

                  Nothing humanity has ever seen really compares, unless you're looking at literal kings literally enslaving and literally extracting all value from an entire population, and even then the scale will be far lower given population growth. We are in the oligarch golden age, and if we're lucky and we don't stay here, people will look back at this moment, and not the robber baron era, as the historical comparator for grotesque wealth accumulation.

                      My idea is, to capture him and give him a choice, either work for the rest of Your life in the same conditions as Your warehouse employees, or the guillotine. I'm pretty sure he would go for the guillotine after 2 hours.

                                thats like 6,000,000 years, and as St. Paulie said

                                "You add up all your mortal sins and multiply that number by 50. Then you add up all your venial sins and multiply that by 25. You add that together and that's your sentence. I figure I'm gonna have to do 6,000 years before I get accepted into heaven and 6,000 years is nothin' in eternity terms. I can do that standing on my head. It's like a couple of days here."

                                so it seems appropriate

                                    I dunno, I just read the first line in the graphic.

                                    What about the contradictions?

                                    You didn't specify contradictions and this isn't my job.

                                        Some people believe you get reincarnated after death and live the life of every person that ever lived.

                                        Not saying I believe in that, but that would be a very poetic form of justice/karma
