People with money don't go to jail so long as they one of a few things are true
1) They still have money (he doesn't seem to have so much anymore)
2) They already traded money for power so people feel they owe him favors (no indication of this)
3) He didn't screw over other rich people (seems he did screw over other rich people)
The third one in particular is important. Messing with other rich people's money is far and away the easiest way to get yourself thrown in jail despite any wealth you might have.
