{{Quote|The greatest tragedy of all was that this [[Joseph Stalin|butcher of innocents]] would never be called to account for his crimes.|A classic karma houdini}}A "'''karma houdini'''" is someone who isn't adequately punished for their villainous actions, and escapes justice by "pulling a Houdini" (disappearing) from karma. Many [[:Category:Scapegoat|scapegoats]] have eventually become karma houdinis, due to how much they suffer which eventually covers up their actions in the future, Some karma houdinis had [[:Category:Redeemed|redeemed themsevles]] ([[Prince Johnson]], [[Lori Drew]] and [[Emperor Hirohito]] are some examples of a redeemed karma houdini).
