Well, as long as the investors and employees get first crack at it (and I mean 100%) and not the government, I'm all for it. The government should not get one red penny of the proceeds until the true "rightful owners" are paid.

Good point. But OTOH no one is talking about the gain the government received from all the fraud coruption of the last 10 years or so.

If I had benefited from a crime commited by someone else, even though I had no intent or active participation in the crime, the assets I gained are subject to forefeiture.

Just how much money has the government raked in on taxes for profits on stock values that didn't rally exist; or in fact disapeared due to fraud over the past 10 years? Should the Government keep the tax revenue it took in, as a result of the fraud foisted upon the investors?

Are the taxes collected by the Government not fruits of the crime, even if they were not (can't be proved)directly responsible for the fraud?

GREAT POINT!!!!
