The popularity of true crime entertainment is making certain crimes worth their punishments.
Think of it: commit a crime that makes a good story .. get caught .. get punished .. sell your story.
Some people's crimes have set up them for life.
**Tips for success:**
- Bring in a story teller from the beginning. A good story teller will know what will later sell and what won't. You don't want to create a story no one wants to hear.
- Have a good lawyer from the beginning. You need something punishable, but not TOO punishable. A few years in prison at most.
- Document .. document .. document .. (the verb, not the noun š)
PS - This model has already been used by some YouTubers (committing real crimes just to make a video) .. so it's only a matter of time before those crimes get more edgy and more elaborate, enough to become a lifelong source of income. (This has happened before, but not intentionally .. I guess )
