Well, they did hang "Madeoff " by the balls, just to show that they're on top of things.
Teach him to run his own crappy little Ponzi Scheme without kicking anything upstairs. And thank God they did, otherwise they would have been reduced to coming after me for the sawbuck I won playing nickel ante.
With this kind of thieving going on, someone has to go to jail.

But they tried not to. People have been ratting him out for years but the SEC didn't lift a finger.

No one is being touched at any level from the housing fraud.

I thought everyone was being touched, other than the ones who profited from the scam.
And I suppose even a lot of "little guys" did quite well flipping houses. But you for sure wanted to be seated in a sturdy chair when the music stopped.

The little guys made over half a million a year. They did more than quite well.
Most of them were nothing more than high school drop outs, aluminum siding sales men turn mortgage brokers.
None in jail, none. Go figure.

Said it before & I'll say it again, something got SERIOUSLY wrong w/this country when the "Gods" decided there was more money to be made off of "Money" than there was to be made off of making "Things"....And you have seen the emasculation of the mightiest industrial base the world has ever known because of it...

Some are still being touched by the housing bubble where their property taxes are based on an inflated value that the property no longer has, ask me how I know.
