Play with fire, and you get burned...

These scams are all too frequent today, and putting these guys and others like them in prison would act as a deterrent.

We'll see if our system can actually hold any white collar criminals accountable though...

A lot of these people do go to prison but know one pays attention long enough to notice.

This same scam was common during the dotcom boom in the 1990s. A lot of people went to prison but every generation needs to learn this lesson the hard way apparently.
