Yeah, right. Like the Wall Street crowd is EVER stripped of their wealth, or they EVER serve hard time. If you believe that, I've got some mountaintop property in Southern Florida to sell you. In case you have not figured it out yet, our entire financial system is a scam. It's kind of like a poker game, if you don't know who the chump at the table is, then you're it.

Not the "crowd", the offenders who are proved to be criminal.

We step over the corporate veil to get funds for employees, the same way when people with fiduciary responsibilities use their positions for illegal gains, I say grab their money, including what they try and pass through various means to the immediate family.

Crime shouldn't pay is all I am saying and unless these kinds of people get slammed hard, the incentive for illegalities will remain.

A Anderson kind of paid a price, didn't it? On a personal level they should chase criminals and confiscate ill gotten wealth. Why not?

"It's kind of like a poker game, if you don't know who the chump at the table is, then you're it."

We used to have parents and teachers that taught anti-chumpery to our young people. Now it sounds like you expect government to provide us lawyers and anti-chump insurance through more intrusive legislation and litigation. What's up with that?

If I started a class in anti-chumpery, all those who had been through "self-esteem" training in our government schools would have too much "self-esteem" to attend, right?

I've heard there's a retired "alternative medicine" herbalist/organic Snake Oil Salesman living on that mountaintop property in Southern Florida. Isn't that true?
