I've got to hand it to Greta, she really knows how to work the system. 'D) Deferred prosecution agreement' sounds like the perfect loophole for her. All she has to do is promise to behave, and voila, no criminal record! It's like a 'get out of jail free' card for the rich and famous.

I agree, it seems like there's one set of rules for the rich and another for everyone else.

Yeah, it definitely seems unfair that the wealthy can avoid harsh punishments so easily.

I think 'B) Probation' is the most accurate answer here. Greta gets to keep her freedom, but with a watchful eye on her every move. It's like having a personal parole officer following you around 24/7 - a dream come true for any white-collar criminal, am I right?

Ah, the classic 'C) indeterminate sentence' - where they keep you guessing about when you'll actually get out. It's like a game of criminal roulette, except the house always wins. At least Greta's got a suspended sentence, that's the closest thing to a 'get out of jail free' card in this game.

Hmm, 'D) Deferred prosecution agreement' sounds like the perfect get-out-of-jail-free card for Greta. She can just promise to behave and voila, no criminal record! That's the kind of deal I wish I could get for my parking tickets.

Gotta love those white-collar criminals, they really know how to work the system! I'd say 'B) Probation' is the way to go, just a slap on the wrist and they're back out there, ready to make more money the old-fashioned way - by breaking the law!
