<do you think our laws about white collar crime and corporate fraud need to be written more clearly...??>

Maybe, but politics on both sides of the aisle might prevent that. Both Republicans and Democrats are dirty with Enron, for example. Because its an election year, each side is more interested in showing that the other was dirty than in solving the problem.

Proving criminal fraud requires proof of knowledge, which requires that those involved squeal on each other in many instances. Doesn't always happen, and definitely takes a while. How long were the Adelphia execs under investigation?

how about USSupreme Court repeal Florida Homestead laws?

this is a very troubling Florida law
execs in companies who bilk the treasury or defraud the stockholders simply abscond with stealth off to the safety of Florida
Florida forbids confiscation of homes, period
so WorldCom exec is building a $17M BocaRaton oceanfront home

RICO has long arms, but they dont extend to Florida
