My point is not that you are not squeaky clean, etc. My point is that you judging someone legally guilty without knowing the facts is likely the same judgement you would get from a poverty stricken person. I pointing out that both are unfair.

Well, that is not how the system works. And, you should be thankful for that because without it people would be shooting what they perceive as sinners right and left
If there was fraud here, and there likely was or at least the case can be made udner RICO (a fairly easy burden) or some other Act, then they will go to jail. Again, most of the crooks in the past decade were convicted. I personally think kCongress should change the law and allow the govt. to seize all assets given again or sold for non fair market value within a year of the fraud.
