A small price to pay for the massive gains they will personally make by insider trading

I bet there isn’t any better option to use that money to.

What, you expect us to take all the money we stole from everybody else and dump it in a big pile and light it on fire? What else are we supposed to do with such massive mountains of wealth but wreak havoc and destruction on those who don’t live like us? Have you even read the Bible? We’re the hand of God here to bring about the 1000 year reign of Jesus; now how are supposed to do that if we wasted all our money, neigh a single penny, loving our neighbors?

They're not lighting it on fire, they're wrapping it up in a nice big gift box and handing it to the defense contractor CEOs.
