Give up some names of some of the folks on capital hill and maybe you’ll get a reduced sentence

So, where’s the money?

In a lot of cases it is not uncommon for the criminals to have spent it all. Easy come and easy go.

And given the nature of these crimes, and how the money was fraudulently procured and distributed, it’s likely some portion of the funds were hidden off shore in an untraceable, multi-layered maze of fictional corporate entities, so the perps could go back and recover it later, when the heat was off of them. So we get screwed twice, and they still get to reward themselves with ill gotten gains; albeit with a delay to their gratification.

Give them life sentances without parole, and 1 visitor per year. No books to read, no television to watch, no windows, just a 4 x 6 foot cell.

Asset strip them and their families down to their underwear so the only place they can afford to live is under a bridge.

Thanks Don and Elon.

I know the problems seem like the great boulder Sisyphus rolled up the hill but its more like rust on a car driven by the coast. Rust like corruption is a corrosive nightmare. You can’t normally see the rust until you go poking around then its always more than you thought. I just hope we don’t have to junk the car because its no longer structurally sound. Don’t be surprised if it comes to that. The nice thing is we still have the founding documents to start over and the lessons learned from straying from them.

Fair enough, but the founding documents didn’t prevent us getting to this point. The documents, of course, may be fine. Really, it’s the people (and whole lot of them, at that) who need wholesale replacement with a better quality of individual who won’t be so prone to perverting the intent of said documents. And just how do we bring that about? Since my pessimism is exceeded only by my capacity for understatement, I’ll just say the answer to that question is most unpleasant.
