This video is about a very old Japanese man at the top of the food chain in the Japanese entertainment industry. The old Japanese boss had raped hundreds or thousands of Japanese boys for decades until his death and was able to get away with it.
The 2 Japanese comedians in the video did a very impressive job of exposing the old boss's sexual devilry. They made it very informative but also humorous.
The idea that a human who provides "much value" to society can get away with all his sins is horrible. This shit is prevalent among collectivist cultures such as Japanese society. The WW2 emperor, Hirohito, got away with his sins of directly and indirectly murdering millions of humans, including the ant-minded Kamikazes. Hirohito's Japanese slaves considered him a national father, authority, even a God, hence above the law and can't be punished. Regardless of how they achieved it, humans who are of authority or with high status have been taking advantage of this ideological loophole for centuries.
This reminded me of Lee Jae-yong, the Samsung heir released from prison for bribery in August 2021. The president's alibi was that the sinner was a big economic contributor. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58196575 and https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/27/business/samsung-lee-jae-yong.html
Other examples are the pardon of former presidents of South Korea, Lee Myung-bak, and Park Geun-hye, who were imprisoned for corruption.

If they were wage slaves (ordinary citizens), they would have rot in jail.
Nobody should be above the law, even if he is a "massive value" provider.
First of all, these "massive value" providers don't provide as much value as you think. They surely provide more value than an ordinary wage slave, but not a thousand times. So, they don't deserve to be paid a thousand times more than an ordinary wage slave. They are able to provide that much value because of their subordinates who work hard for them. They don't do it single-handedly. Secondly, these high-status, "massive value" providers obtain value from society much more than they provide; it's disproportional. Thirdly, they tend to inflict harm much more than an ordinary wage slave can because of their power and resources. Fourthly, they can be replaced by other competent leaders or value providers.
Of course, the value they provide should also be acknowledged, but not to the point of absolving their sins. The value they provide to society should have little impact on justice. Anybody who thinks the value a devil provides justifies him getting away with his devilry is the devil's accomplice.
