"them".

This is the problem. "They" made billions of dollars illegally. Now, "they" are paying back 1.7 billion dollars. The question is- is it still the same "humans" behind the pronoun?

Certainly Madoff is not paying the lifetime of fuck-you money he has blown. At least now he is in jail (or "camp" as he thinks of it).

The rest of "them" wont do a single day in prison.
