Sarajevo Safari is the name for an alleged war tourism phenomenon during the siege of Sarajevo (1992–1996) involving human hunting. According to the reports, wealthy foreign nationals were enabled, for large monetary fees, to shoot at civilians in the besieged city with sniper rifles for entertainment purposes.

Possibly. It has been suggested and investigated, but there is no definite evidence of this, and the two named sources in the book about it give conflicting info, all of it second hand.
The Italian investigation found one case with significant evidence
Prosecutors said the evidence seized included a photo of the suspect with technical equipment and a silencer.
Maybe there’s more? This is hardly “significant,” a picture of a man with a gun at an unknown time and location. This is the only evidence cited
There’s pictures of me with a silenced rifle, and I definitely never hunted people in Sarajevo in the 90s.
Oddly specific.

Money/power corrupts.
If you’ve had a taste of power at work, say in middle management, you probably know what I mean. Imagine that 1000X stronger. Hand almost anyone a billion dollars, and they’ll quickly lose their compassion and empathy.
You’re not immune, you just don’t have access.
I believe that the type of people who are “corrupted” by power are typically the ones who seek it. I feel like there are plenty of people who wouldn’t be corrupted by power, but they’re the ones who do not seek power, and thus are rarely in positions of large amounts of power.
