A perilous legal landscape of red-tape and ruinous prohibitions is bad... But the same stuff being selectively enforced is even worse.

Yup, the big government (control and enforce everything) squad can be just as authoritarian.

I feel there was a disconnect in communication here. I'm saying that the Ultra Rich Guy and his pet project should be held to the same standards that are affecting regular people and organizations.

Especially if we want those standards to change, giving the politically-powerful special privileges to ignore the rules is bad! It makes reform less likely to occur, rather than more, and encourages other problems like regulatory capture and selective prosecution.
