The real story is whether or not people are to be held accountable for their actions. What happens to him will define to everyone a lot of things. If he is let go, then what is there that a person can do that is wrong? He will be a comparison for anyone's misdeeds.

Way too heavy a weight for this particular story. He clearly won't be "let go". But even if he were it would have nothing to do with anyone else, certainly nothing to do with anything that genuinely matters. Worry about the greediness that led a great many hardworking folk to lose all their money in the Enron disaster. Now there's something to stay up nights about.

I'm not convinced.

Every future case will be just as unique as this one has been thus I see little real meaning in this isolated case. If it were 5 or 10 people in some sort of organized band -- well now, that would be a different story. But we are not seeing anything like that are we.
