And a bunch of bankers did far less if any for stupid but maybe not criminal stuff and didn't even lose their jobs.

I have no doubts about how much of the 20 years I'd do if I did some sort of postal fraud. (Likely most of it)

I'm not sure where fraud ranks on my mental "evil incarnate " list. Probably not in the top 50. It's bad, but there's lots of worse things.

Steve, I agree. I would place card doctoring much higher on the list of evils than shill bidding, for example. The "evil incarnate" thing was tongue-in-cheek, directed at a certain poster's obsession with Bill and Doug.
