  1. There are words that relay the extreme gravity of a crime. Words like 'rape', 'murder', 'incest' and 'extortion' all have a visceral sense of how bad an act is.

    If only we could determine a word like that for '#moneyPrinters'.

    Words '#theft' and '#slaver' are too weak. The term '#humanTrafficking' is not bad but has other meanings.

    If 'usury' is for loanSharks — how about '#abusery'?

    Or something named after the #CantillonEffect — like '#tillony'?
