General Discussion

I'm having a hard time finding an image that will post here, but MRIs show that only a fraction of pscyhopath brains respond to stimuli compared to normal people. Very few or none of the empathy centers 'light up.' Even their autonomic system that responds to flight/fight stimuli doesn't respond the same way as that of a normal person

Because the don't have empathy or the same flight/fight fears, they could have a captive or mutilated corpse in their basement, and be dead calm when a cop knocks on their door during a house-to-house survey to see if anyone had seen said captive or corpse in the neighbourhood. They'll even lie via small talk that they had no idea about the missing person, how terrible that is, what's the world coming to--and not give themselves away at all.

So it's not a surprise that his legal woes aren't getting to him in the way it would a normal person. The narcissist sector of the psychopathic personality (all psychopaths are narcissists) will more likely be angry at the affront of the justice system preventing him from getting his way, rather than scared or worried about the threat to his livelihood. He's not worried about his livelihood as much as he is getting his way because he doesn't care about consequences; psychopaths never consider those at all, because the future doesn't matter to them, only the here and now. He may make up things that pretend to care about the future (it will affect my campaign!), but in reality, he's only worried about getting what he wants in the here and now. He doesn't want to pay 464 million today, never mind down the line. That's all he knows--or cares about

Their different wiring and outlook are why it's dangerous to think that a psychopath will see and do things the same way as a normal person.
