It's satisfying to see enforcement against frauds, especially when they are so close to your own industry.

I've seen people do sketchy stuff which seemed obviously wrong and publicly apparent for many, many years. Sometimes it finally catches up with them, but other times it does not, and they cash out, are rewarded, and praised by others who have great respect. That is deeply unnerving.




interesting point. enforcement came via government.


That's one of the few things legitimate Government is for: prosecuting people for fraud.
