>It's not fraud, it's a victimless crime,
Wow, I've always considered american libertarianism a mental disease but this really takes the cake. So you have someone standing there saying "Hey, want to buy these stock? They're great!" knowing the value is about to dramically drop (and that the other party can't possibly know that!) and for you that still isn't doing anything wrong? Out of curiousity, are you also lobbying against punishing people for selling fake iPhones claiming they're real, etc.? Completely victimless crimes, right?
