I mean… making a person stateless is actually considered a crime against humanity by the UN.
I think exponentially-compounding fines for hyper-wealthy individuals would be perfectly fine, tbh. Also, we’d definitely need to be a LOT more aggressive in terms of slapping those types down as vexatious litigants - look up the implications of that (in US courts, at least) if you’re not familiar with the term.
It would also be a crime because you’re essentially killing them. Being dropped randomly into international waters with no preparation would probably be a bigger concern for them than if their passport is still valid. There are definitely a lot of solutions we haven’t tried between our current nothing and state sanctioned murder, I just wish we’d actually implement one.
All that said, it’d be kinda sweet if we could just give these broligarch fuckwits the Napoleon Bonaparte treatment (marooned on St Helena - but these days, probably with a watchdog naval detachment of some sort to detain and similarly incarcerate any broligarch buddies who try to un-exile them with their mega-yachts).
Or, hell, we could even grant Phony Stark his wish: send the fuckers to Mars. Move fast and break things, right guys? That’s what they all say they want, yeah? 😜

I was admittedly being hyperbolic. Here’s me saying the same thing not too long ago: https://reddthat.com/comment/29539867
