<<...The US Marshals Service is currently managing more than $1.6 billion in property seized from alleged drug dealers and other criminals. Assets seized include cars, boats, aircraft, residential and commercial properties, cash, jewelry, precious metals, and a host of other items. When the government decides it wants to send a clear message that crime does not pay, it can and does. So, why don't they drop the same net over the assets of the current crop of corporate scofflaws? With the exception of the occasional low-level embezzler or lone-wolf scam artist, those accused of multi-million white collar/corporate scams are allowed to maintain possession and control over the booty they accumulated until pulled away from the company till. Despite all the recent tough talk and chest thumping from the Bush administration and its Department of Justice, even the highest profile examples of corporate malfeasance remain unmolested by federal asset seizure...>> thedailyenron.com BWAC: It sure seems like THE VAST MAJORITY of white collar criminals get away with too much...Why won't Congress AND The Current Administration move aggressively to change that..?? It may have something to do with the fact that we allow Big Money to buy our politicians (from both parties). The system needs to be changed...Check out the wonderful role models we have running our country right now...=)
