Play with fire, and you get burned...

These scams are all too frequent today, and putting these guys and others like them in prison would act as a deterrent.

We'll see if our system can actually hold any white collar criminals accountable though...

A lot of these people do go to prison but know one pays attention long enough to notice.

This same scam was common during the dotcom boom in the 1990s. A lot of people went to prison but every generation needs to learn this lesson the hard way apparently.

They couldn't buy pardons in the 90's like they can in 2026. Nobody is going to prison.
great to insert partisan talking points here. the last admin has no culpability so this is a great argument. thanks.
