For such a short book review I feel like they could have listed out one or two example felonies that people likely commit each day. Feels like a weird tease.
The "case study" [1] in the author’s post is unsubstantiated. The author of the "case study" (it’s a short e-mail depicting a conviction of a C-level executive) even tries to parallel it with Aaron Schwartz conviction which is disgusting to me.
The C-level executive and his lackeys were committing _insider trading_ and profited from it. You getting caught with your pants down is not government overreach, it’s blatant greed. This does not have any similarity to Aaron Schwartz wrongful conviction.

According to this review the book never backs up its claim: https://www.econlib.org/three-felonies-a-day/

“If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.”
I would love some examples for other occupations.

Ok but in not hiding anything, we all apparently do a lot "wrong."
