A similar story line is used in Heinlein's The Cat Who Walks Through Walls in that "Golden Rule Habitat" is a for-profit enterprise, if you can't pay your way or provide something of value to the owners, you had best leave. To go there and stay you have to deposit the full cost of a return ticket and pay for a place to live for as long as you're there. Murderers are tried, then spaced when convicted, not returned (probably because they don't have the money to buy everyone off). If you're there and not paying - as a group was in one of the low levels - the Golden Rule authorities gassed them to death but let the snitch who did it to save his own skin and told the authorities about them live. (Their friends killed the snitch.)
