First off, this is coming from the prosecutorial side, who has every incentive to make the case as understandable as possible. Frankly, it's not surprising that the average person can't understand complex finance and thus complex financial litigation. > Everytime I hear a finance person use the excuse of 'you wouldn't understand' to a complex, I can't help but correlate it to a developer who's obfuscated code tell another developer they wouldn't understand, without acknowledging that they obfuscated the code. The difference is that a jury is not other finance people. I don't expect jurors to understand financial crimes any more than I expect a random member of the public to understand a complex computer bug.
