Ray, the USA is great like this and one of the reasons why I invest there than in New Zealand, where almost nobody, if anybody, has gone to prison for such crime. <In another black eye for scandal-tarred Wall Street, 15 former specialists at the New York Stock Exchange were indicted Tuesday, accused of improper trading that took millions from investors. The 15 were charged with securities fraud, with federal prosecutors alleging they illegally profited between 1999 and April 2003 by conducting thousands of trades from their own accounts, rather than properly matching customers' orders.> It surprises me how many people in the USA continue to be caught with their hands in the till or conducting various frauds despite the many going to prison.
