The remark closed a short collaborative bit that had begun two minutes earlier with Matt's observation that "We should do some crime," immediately followed by Evan Bbbender's twin objections: "I don't know if this admin would prioritize pardoning us," and "Our bribes would not be large enough." Brian Ambuel's reply functions as the answer to both: the chat does not in fact need pardons, nor large bribes, provided it sticks to the right product line.
