If you are a rich person, and feel you need a crime committed, you are in an excellent position to convince a poor person to commit it for you, and just reimburse them the comparatively quite reasonable punishment fee as an expense on top of whatever you pay them. We in America already do this with gangs/cartels recruiting minors to commit violent/drug crimes for them, knowing that the minors will be sentenced less harshly.
