    Hire as many hitmen as I can to kill the wealthiest people. But we would have to keep doing it, and it wouldn’t dissuade anyone from hording money…so?

      Put 3/4 on the hit and 1/4 betting on the stock market reaction only you know is coming. Profit. Repeat.

      So you’d choose senseless violence. Good thing you’re not getting any money.

      I doubt professional hitmen would go after the real fat porkys for just a million.

      Well, every time assets get split between their 3 kids, you reduce the assets accumulated in one couple.
