[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1563073, member: 1294"] Apples and oranges, the issue is not whether the law works, the question is why isn't it a priority? As I mentioned the cases I just posted were brought by citizens, they investigated and provided evidence, they filed suit and the gov. then decides to join or not. The citizen, (whistleblower) gets a % of the recovery. The question is why we don't see the resources and energy devoted to this crime like we do other crimes that might not be doing as much harm. The next question is why the public is not as outraged about this and demanding more enforcement and harsher penalties on those who commit these crimes. After all you get caught stealing millions because you're greedy and it's a slap on the wrist, get caught stealing because you're poor and/or stupid and some would have you shot. [/QUOTE]
