One of the problems with our system is that the perps, assuming they are wealthy and connected, rarely pay any penalties for their malfeasance. A few of the Enron bigwigs are doing time, but that is the exception, not the rule.

Everyone works on the basis of "plausible deniability," which I find inplausible most of the time. But the courts differ.
