You've got to be kidding. White collar and blue collar crime are TOTALLY different in the eyes of the law. Stealing a $4000 1995 toyota camry is grand theft auto and will get you 20 years in a federal prison, but if you wear a suit and dump $150,000,000 worth of insider stock at a fraudulent company while lying to the SEC and investors the worst that happens is you get a slap on the wrist and maybe pay a small fine. Yeah, that makes sense. ----------------------------------------------- For Merrill and their kind: fines, lawsuits, stricter rules, and hard jail time when they earn it. Treat 'em just like the rest of us. As if they hadn't bought off the government.
