You could have said the same about Madoff.

  Except Madoff had to conceal an accounting hole. If he ever stopped, his investors would ask for their $x back, and he would have to give them $0.5x. I know there's a lot of room for cynicism in the financial world, but you still need to know what is happening for each type of fraud or misdeed or good action.

    What was interesting about Madoff was that more than 0.5x was recovered (last thing I read it was much more), even considering the trustee billed over $1 billion in fees. Normally around 0.01x is recovered, as 99% is just blown on "expenses."
