I don't think so, there are always consequences, no different today than before.
What we are talking about here is a bit different. A sociopath (yes, I believe that's what this is) has no moral compass and would lie or cheat to get the highs they need. We're talking about someone who made up a fake organization back in July when Rufus got beaten up, posed as the president of that so-called organization, went on Global BC, fake cried during the interview, all because what... he thinks he can.
And he's going to business school? Good thing he got caught in a fishing derby, this could have been, still could be, a new Bernie Madoff in the making lol...
I don't know anything about Mirea and wouldn't hazard a guess why he did what he did. However I wanted to say that the vast majority of people who commit crimes, lie , cheat, 'screw people over' etc are not sociopaths or psychopaths. Both of these categories are not recognized psychiatric disorders but are lumped into the category of Antisocial Personality Disorders (ASPD). It takes consider education,training and experience to diagnose these. It's far more common for normal people to exhibit the same behaviors from time to time, the big difference being they usually feel or are inclined to feel bad about it afterward and have a capacity to change their behaviour. Truth is many of the people with the ASPD disorder lead outwardly normal lives and not a few rise to positions of high responsibility where their lack of empathy, facile charm and charisma seem to provide them an advantage. That's the world we live in!
