    This only counts because they use their money to make their lives “lawful” through legislation and capture of the courts, minimizing their very real crimes against humanity.

    Okay perhaps Buffett, Gates, and Cook haven’t gone as far as actual crimes against humanity but the rest have, and Buffett, Gates, and Cook are still unlawful but used their money to twist the laws in their favor.

      You don’t understand Lawful Evil.

      In the Nine Hells, bending and breaking rules to your whim is the norm. It’s whether you get caught, and piss off someone powerful, that matters.

        breaking rules means they’re not lawful. that’s why demons are generaly described as chaotic

        if you do something unlawful, it means you’re not lawful, it doesn’t matter if you’re caught or not
