Yeah, that's serious time.

Now, if they'd only do the same thing to the scumbags that looted the treasury during the mortgage scam.

Good news to hear about Jay Vincent. He scammed many desperate people here in Michigan. Good to confirm our justice system can work for the victims at times!

You forgot the CEOs of the Health Insurance companies. John Gotti is doing life, yet he stole far less than they have.

Slightly off-topic but ...Bernie Madoff is in jail for perpetrating a Ponzi scheme. Seems to me that the Social Security System is the government doing the same thing!! We are all in deep s**t if we are counting on that money when we retire.

I hope they get their money back.

Chris,
there is no chance of getting their money back. The line is in the thousands with the IRS and other entities way ahead of the inspectors.
