    I cannot imagine the hell you’d catch for starting a wildfire to win a bet.

    That’s like the easiest most life fucking crime you could possibly commit.

    You’d have the SEC, FBI, EPA, Fire Marshall, and State and local police all investigating you.

        ‘But they won’t catch ME. I’m smart. The fire will burn all the evidence of my crime. I totally won’t post about it later on social media.’ - the arsonist

        People who commit crimes and make wild bets are not usually known for their impressive executive function.
