  not sure why he's getting downvoted. even the tip of the iceberg that is known to us warrants all sorts of prosecution.

  If you take this argument to its logical conclusion, we should never convict anybody of any crimes ever.

    Not necessarily - wanting even justice to be dispensed isn't the same thing as saying if one person gets away with it everyone should. It's quite a bit meta to the article, but relevant in that both defrauded money from the general public, made a fortune from it, but Seleznev is paying while the others are not. It's a little strange to focus just on Seleznev when we have people who make it a practice to skim money and don't get in trouble for it when they do cost the US public billions.

    can't speak for you but for me the logical conclusion would be bringing them to justice.

      How? Gut feel? The laws we have today are inadequate to bringing cases, and we have a Constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws.
      • igivanov 10y ago
        Dunno how, IANAL. But I trust that the US government, or the establishment in general, can make anyone's life miserable if there is a political will. Also, have the laws been amended to deal with similar offenses in the future?
