3 companies defrauded the government and pretended to be millions of US citizens in order to make billions in illegitimate profits.
Were fined a few hundred thousand.
Why isn’t every individual involved in jail? Why haven’t all the company assets been seized?
Also, given that they were impersonating real living people, can we please get a list of those people? Or at least have the victims of identity theft, fraud, and I think for many on HN defamation?
