Romania's Justice System Compared With the US and Japan

When I got out of jail, I was analyzing, because I'm enjoying,

I'm a very lucky person, God has blessed me with the experience of the Romanian judicial system.

So, I'm trying to understand other judicial systems around the world. And I was like, well,

where is fair? And you start to like go down the rabbit hole a bit. And you see that there's a lot

of countries that have completely different ethos when it comes to justice. So, the American idea

and the British idea, the Western idea of justice is innocent until proven guilty. That's the basic

idea of justice. In countries like Romania, it's more, everyone goes to jail for a while,

everybody. If you're even remotely suspected of anything, everybody goes to jail for a while.

And then we'll let you out. And then in the end, unless you've really done something,

you're probably going to go home. So, theirs is more scattergun. It's more, ah, you looked in a

car window, we didn't break in, but you're looking in. And there was a car breaking yesterday,

tough. It might be you. Yeah, that's how they work. Now, that obviously comes with detriment

because you end up in jail with a bunch of people who perhaps don't belong in jail.

But then I look at the society here. We're in the poorest country in Europe. I walk around with a

million dollar watch. I had a $5 million Bugatti. I'd park it on the street. Women walk home alone

at night. It's so ridiculously safe because everyone fears the law. So, perhaps it's

detrimental. Yes. And when you're in the cell, you're like, why am I here? But if you're not

emotional about the fact you got caught up in it and you look around, you're like, well,

society does function. People always talk about Japan and say, Japan's so safe. Japan's so great.

Japan's amazing. Yeah. Cause there's a 99% conviction rate. Yeah. Do you tell me that

innocent people aren't going to jail with a 99% conviction rate? What's the even point of the

court? The court doesn't exist. You turn up. I did that. Yeah. Yeah. Jail. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Jail. Same. What happened to me? I went there and I said, TikTok, how can you human traffic someone

on TikTok? TikTok doesn't even make money. Yeah. Yeah. Jail. They don't care. So, you either feel

the law or you have to fear the criminals. In the worst countries on earth, and perhaps we could

say this is America currently, you have to fear both because the law will come for you if you're

too big and you're telling too much truth and the criminals will come after you if you're too rich.

So, you're living there with two enemies. Right. You know, that's the worst position to be in. At

least in a country like Japan, you know, as long as I don't upset the law, I'll probably be okay.

Let me tell you what happened to you. It's the same way that guys in organized crime,

same thing happens. I'll tell you what happened. Normally, a crime is committed

and they go out and investigate and find out who the perpetrators are, right? When you get to be

somebody like yourself, there isn't a crime. They're investigating you trying to figure out

if you did anything wrong. Correct. It goes the opposite way. And that's what they do with guys

like us. Okay. He's a bad guy. Let's figure out what he did. So, they start investigating,

surveillance, all that until they can nail you with something. That's what happened to you.

I said this to many people. I said, you don't understand it. You don't know the system,

whether you're Romania, US, or it's the same thing. When you get high profile like that,

this is what they do. 100%. They do not get a crime and try and find the name. They get a

name and try and find the crime. Exactly. And most people have no idea how all of these things work.

They have no idea how ridiculous the legal code is in every country.
