    The most important question is “how do you enforce it?” Does the roaming mob meet up daily to check everybody’s bank records? Or do you pass a law about it democratically, and if it’s that then why did you ever need to execute anybody in the first place?

      How is it enforced? A bounty system would work. 10% of any funds collected or forfeited.

      No body will be executed. They’ll all figure out how to pry open their wallets and portfolios within the 90-day amnesty window.

        I tell you what, when you legalize such a bounty system on all tangible wealth over a billion then I will admit it might work.

        But if you could do that, why would you not just tax the rich?
