The acts of forging these documents and attempting a multi-billion dollar fraud are serious. The act of sending these documents through the mail is not. It would have been just as bad if these documents were sent by personal courier.

The famous mob boss Al Capone was only ever convicted of tax evasion and served 11 years in Alcatraz for that.
