I have always been in favour of making crooks into organ donors. That isn't regulation so much as making punishments a real incentive not to be a criminal: <He said other regulatory changes should be considered, too, in such areas as fraud. > One of the reasons I invest in the USA is that it is fairly punitive and does punish crooks fairly well. Fraud, theft, embezzlement should of course be punished. But that's not the regulation which politicians and others will seek. They will want bureaucratic confiscation of OPM - that's the name of the game. The anti-fraud drive will just be cover for OPM grabbing by kleptocrats. Mqurice
