    Yeah, it sure does, doesn't it.

    Arthur Andersen (the out sourced accountants behind ENRON)

    The accountants working for WORLDCOM and Lehman Bros etc

    Bernie Madoff's accountant, David Friehling, CPA

    I think they should increase the severity and punishment of white collar crime, and make it as harsh as armed robbery or serial killers/mass murderers, because that is exactly what they are doing, stealing people money, and killing a lot of people by crippling them, financially and social economically.
