That depends entirely on the mathematical ratio between the handout, the wealth level of the received and the potential costs and losses they may face.

I find myself reasonably well off some would consider me wealthy and i don't have 100K sitting around, That would still be life changing money to me.

Someone who has a single million is insanely wealthy to me. That is a fuck you amount that no one should just have… But if you look at the price for lawyers in high profile homocide cases these can easily go up into multiples millions, suddenly that insane wealth is zero + debt, do they still not need handouts?

This doesn’t justify wealth it points to another breach on the wall. Legal defense is a system in favor for the ultra wealthy, the most money wins so usually state and corporations. Our guy is a shrimp.
