What is actually a crime?

I would rather Schapelle Corby got 3 million dollars for an interview than Rupert Murdoch getting 800 million dollars for paper shuffling. 

I think Schapelle doing an interview is more honest than Rupert’s complex shuffling of assets through local and overseas businesses in 1989 that netted the company an AUS2 billion tax deduction, according to The Australian Financial Review.

Schapelle is telling her story, which really can’t be considered proceeds of crime, such a classification is a very great stretch made by conservative thinkers. She is simply being paid to tell her story, there is absolutely no crime in that.



But what can you call a deliberate complex shuffling of assets to gain the biggest tax rebate in Australian history which involved taking 800 million dollars from the Australian tax payer?
