Agreed. The system is set up to ALLOW for scamming, so the scams exist. It occurs on a large scale, even with the major brokers and financial institutions. Those are the ones we hear about AND the information of the pathetic fine becomes public information, but there seems to be no outrage. People think it's ok, because they were made to pay. But if it's only 4-5% of their profit from the scam, how did they PAY? AND no admission of guilt is a joke. Hell, they should not only pay fines IN ADDITION TO giving up their bogus profits, but they should be required to go door to door, handing BACK the scammed cash WITH an apology! Once they're done, they should be put into a tiny cell with convicted rapists and murderers, and spend a few years thinking about it, while they enjoy "lights out" every evening!
